X2 + 45x = -200 Using the quadratic formual and the discirimnat

Positive discriminant = 2 real solution

x= -5,-40

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is used to see how many solutions an equation has. If it is negative, the equation has no real solutions, if =0 the equation has 1, and if it is positive, the equation has two real solutions.

The discriminant is the part of the quadratic formula inside the square root:

Every quadratic formula has the structure:

So first, in order to meet this structure we need to add 200 to both sides so the equation is equal to 0. This gives us:

Our a=1, b=45 and c=200

Now we can substitute these values into the discriminant:

Solve:

The discriminant is a positive number which means this equation will have 2 real solution. Now we just need to plug in our values into the quadratic formula to solve this equation. Quadratic formula:

(Same discriminant value)

Now to find the two solutions, we use both signs in the equation. Solution 1:

Our first solution is -5, now for the second:

The two solution to this equation are -5 and -40.

Hope this helped!

step-by-step explanation:

all three statements are true

step-by-step explanation:

a shipping fee of 5% is charged online with every item purchased online

first let's just take each option and calculate them based on this, to see if the answers matched

keith buys a 40 dollar book

40 x 0.05 = 2

therefore there will be a two dollar fee on keith's book

40 + 2 =42

the first statement is true

a chair costs $80

80 x 0.05 = 4

80 + 4 = 84

the second statement is true

george buys a 20 dollar calculator

20 x 0.05 = 1

20 + 1 = 21

the third statements are true

all three statements are true
