What is the discriminant and what information does it provide about a quadratic equation?
In Exercises \(133-136\), determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. $$\frac{\sqrt{20}}{8}=\frac{\sqrt{10}}{4}$$
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. $$\frac{2 x-1}{x-7}+\frac{3 x-1}{x-7}-\frac{5 x-2}{x-7}=0$$
Use the strategy for solving word problems, modeling the verbal conditions of the problem with a linear inequality. A city commission has proposed two tax bills. The first bill requires that a homeowner pay \(\$ 1800\) plus \(3 \%\) of the assessed home value in taxes. The second bill requires taxes of \(\$ 200\) plus \(8 \%\) of the assessed home value. What price range of home assessment would make the first bill a better deal?
