3x2 plus 12x equals -1?

3x2 + 12x = - 1 ie 3x2 + 12x + 1 = 0 has no rational roots. The irrational roots are [-12 +/- sqrt(132)]/6 = -3.915 and -0.085


What is the discriminant of the equation -3x square - 12x plus 7 equals 8?

The equation is equivalent to: -3x2 - 12x - 1 = 0 [you could change signs to get 3x2 + 12x + 1 = 0 but that is not required] The discriminant is (-12)2 - 4*(-3)(-1) = 144 - 12 = 132


What is the x-coordinate of the of the vertex of y equals -3x2 plus 12x-5?

You can find the x-coordinate of it's vertex by taking it's derivative and solving for zero: y = -3x2 + 12x - 5 y' = -6x + 12 0 = -6x + 12 6x = 12 x = 2 Now that we have it's x coordinate, we can plug it back into the original equation to find it's y coordinate: y = -3x2 + 12x - 5 y = -3(2)2 + 12(2) + 5 y = -12 + 24 + 5 y = 17 So the vertex of the parabola y = -3x2 + 12x - 5 occurs at the point (2, 17).
