Given a quadratic equation px^2 + 8x + 2 does not have real roots. Determine the range of the values of p. [4 marks]

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic equation to have no real roots, the discriminant b² - 4ac must be negative.

For px² + 8x + 2 = 0,

We have a = p, b = 8 and c = 2.

=> (8)² - 4(p)(2) < 0

=> 64 - 8p < 0

=> 8p > 64

=> p > 8

Hence the range for p is p > 8.

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
