What are three possible outcomes to a two system equation?
THREE
How do you draw a table of three teams with three possible outcomes?
With considerable difficulty since there are a lot more than 3 possible outcomes.
How do you find how many x intercepts the parabola has using the discriminant?
If the discriminant is negative, there are 0 interceptsIf the discriminant is zero, there is 1 interceptIf the discriminant is positive, there are 2 intercepts
What is the discriminant of the polynomial 2x2 5x 4?
The discriminant is -7
What is the discriminant of x squared equals 4?
The discriminant is 16
What are 3 outcomes for the discriminant?
If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is zero then it has equal roots. If the discriminant is greater than zero then there are two different roots. If the discriminant is less than zero then there are no real roots.
If the discriminant is negative the equation has solutions?
As stated in the attached link, there are three possible discriminant conditions: Positive, Zero, or Negative. If the discriminant is negative, there are no real solutions but there are two imaginary solutions. So, yes there are solutions if the discriminant is negative. The solutions are imaginary, which is perfectly acceptable as solutions.
What can the discriminant tell you about a quadratic equation?
It can tell you three things about the quadratic equation:- 1. That the equation has 2 equal roots when the discriminant is equal to zero. 2. That the equation has 2 distinctive roots when the discriminant is greater than zero. £. That the equation has no real roots when the discriminant is less than zero.
How many possible outcomes of tossing three coins?
There are 23 = 8 possible outcomes.
What are three possible outcomes to a two system equation?
THREE
If there are three coins and each is flipped once how many possible outcomes are there?
There are two outcomes for each coin and three coins; 2 x 2 x 2 = 23 = 8 outcomes.
What does the discriminant tell you?
The discriminant tells you how many solutions there are to an equation The discriminant is b2-4ac For example, two solutions for a equation would mean the discriminant is positive. If it had 1 solution would mean the discriminant is zero If it had no solutions would mean that the discriminant is negative
How do you draw a table of three teams with three possible outcomes?
With considerable difficulty since there are a lot more than 3 possible outcomes.
How many outcomes are possible if a six sided cube is tossed three times?
18 outcomes
If you have 3 fair casino dice and throw all three at the same time each time how many different outcomes are possible?
6 outcomes for each die and so 6x6x6 outcomes for all three
How do you tell if a discriminant is positive negative or zero?
With the standard notation, If b2 < 4ac then the discriminant is negative If b2 = 4ac then the discriminant is zero If b2 > 4ac then the discriminant is positive
How do you find how many x intercepts the parabola has using the discriminant?
If the discriminant is negative, there are 0 interceptsIf the discriminant is zero, there is 1 interceptIf the discriminant is positive, there are 2 intercepts
