Chapter 10: Q 283. (page 1237)

In the following exercises, determine the number of solutions to each quadratic equation.
$(a) 9 x^{2} 鈭� 6 x + 1 = 0 (b) 3 y^{2} 鈭� 8 y + 1 = 0 (c) 7 m^{2} + 12 m + 4 = 0 (d) 5 n^{2} 鈭� n + 1 = 0$

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) 1 solution

Part (b) 2 solutions

Part (c) 2 solutions

Part (d) No solution

Step by step solution

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

The given equation is:

$9 x^{2} - 6 x + 1 = 0$

Part (a) Step 2. Determine the number of solutions.

$9 x^{2} - 6 x + 1 = 0$

The given equation is in standard form, identify a, b, and c.

$a = 9, b = - 6, c = 1$

Write in discriminant, and substitute the values ofa, b,andc:

localid="1653901256344" $b^{2} - 4 a c = {(- 6)}^{2} - 4 (9) (1) = 36 - 36 = 0$

As the discriminant is zero, there will be only one real solution for this equation.

Part (b) Step 1. Determine the number of solutions.

The given equation is:

$3 y^{2} - 8 y + 1 = 0$

The given equation is in standard form, identify a, b, and c.

$a = 3, b = - 8, c = 1$

Write in discriminant, and substitute the values ofa, b,andc:

$b^{2} - 4 a c = {(- 8)}^{2} - 4 (3) (1) = 64 - 12 = 52$

As the discriminant is positive, there will be two real solutions for this equation.

Part (c) Step 1. Determine the number of solutions.

The given equation is:

$7 m^{2} + 12 m + 4 = 0$

The given equation is in standard form, identify a, b, and c.

$a = 7, b = 12, c = 4$

Write in discriminant, and substitute the values ofa, b,andc:

localid="1657726795773" $b^{2} - 4 a c = 12^{2} - 4 (7) (4) = 144 - 112 = 32$

As the discriminant is positive, there will be two real solutions for this equation.

Part (d) Step 1. Determine the number of solutions.

The given equation is:

$5 n^{2} - n + 1 = 0$

The given equation is in standard form, identify a, b, and c.

$a = 5, b = - 1, c = 1$

Write in discriminant, and substitute the values ofa, b,andc:

$b^{2} - 4 a c = {(- 1)}^{2} - 4 (5) (1) = 1 - 20 = - 19$

As the discriminant is negative, there will be no real solution for this equation.
