find the discriminant

#

yeah but hold on

#

checking something

#

nah

#

lol

marsh jetty
#

Yea

devout reef
#

I don't 😭

#

physicsandmathstutor

#

just do practice qsa

#

after every topic

#

and you'll be good

mystic wedge
#

u in uni )

#

ah was gonna

#

all good

devout reef
#

but yeah just find the discriminant and put it in the form

#

np

#

u should've gotten two roots

#

idk

#

haven't done it

#

check it on ur

#

calculator

#

wait

#

nvm

#

I forgot how to do this topic

mystic wedge
#

it is 16

devout reef
#

lemme do the question real quick

#

oh

mystic wedge
#

right?

devout reef
#

IDK

#

u tell me

mystic wedge
#

u tell me

devout reef
#

..

#

bro

mystic wedge
#

ur name is litro tech

devout reef
#

bonk 💀

mystic wedge
#

your level 20 compass 💪💪

devout reef
#

real

#

are u sure it's just 16?

#

yeah

#

I'll do the q in a sec

#

alr lemme do it

#

how'd u get 16?

#

x1 = 1, x2 = -3

#

yeah

#

can u send ur working rw

#

rq

#

wanna compare it to mine

#

???

#

wait

#

.

#

I messed up the question sigh

#

ah yeah

#

k = plus or minus 16

#

k = 16

#

yhh

#

it throws u off a lot

#

I'll be real I haven't done this topic in 3 weeks

#

I'm 50/50

#

uhh

quiet summit
#

whats the question

devout reef
#

@mystic wedge

,rotate

rapid plover
#

Discriminant is more than or 0

sly capeBOT
devout reef
#

wait

rapid plover
#

Hence (k-3)^2- 4*(3-2k)

rapid plover

Just a typing mistake

mums

#

Bro it's justy telling you to show that k satisfies the equation

devout reef
#

but u were just proving it was the original quadratic

lime pollen
#

We don't have any other questions 😭

devout reef
rapid plover
#

Yeah sure but u don’t have to

lime pollen
#

If you wanna semd the full thing then send the full thing but thats the question I got so Im answering how to do that

rapid plover
#

Satisfies just means fits in

lime pollen
#

cool so why are we trying to find what k is

devout reef
rapid plover
#

U prove it fits in because the discriminant is a fact

devout reef
#

so u solve for k

rapid plover
#

And so is the quadratic

devout reef
#

to prove its > 0

rapid plover
#

Do you mean substitute k back into the discriminant

devout reef
#

wot

devout reef
#

why would u do that

rapid plover
#

H said to prove it’s more than 0

#

U

#

What’s gonna be more than 0

#

No it’s not just need to understand what the questions asking for

#

Yeah

devout reef
#

..

rapid plover
#

But it isn’t

#

K can take -3 and 1

#

-3 is less than 0??

lime pollen
#

"Show that k satisfies k^2 + 2k - 3" That's what it wants

#

yes

devout reef
#

so that's why

rapid plover
#

Nah bro not at all

lime pollen
#

ah rigght

devout reef
#

when I inputted it in my calculator

#

I got those but was mad confused

lime pollen
#

yeah you don't need to think about the actual wording of it. Normally if it says "Show that" then gives you an equation, you're using the first equation and turning it into the second
They use "satisfies" because you're showing that for a value of k that makes k^2 + 2k - 3 > 0 true, the equation with xs will always have 2 distinct roots, and obviously when it doesn't satisfy that then it won't have 2 distinct roots

rapid plover
#

Not to over complicate things but u have 2 facts:
X^2 + (k-3)x + (3-2k)
And
B^2 -4ac > 0

The question is asking you if you can take the value of k from that first equation and put it in a format that looks the same as the (k^2 -2k -3 > 0)

#

And we can using our second fact of the discriminant

devout reef
#

ahh

#

alrigjt

#

do u have to show the roots

lime pollen
#

to saay that k satisfies that inequality is to say that any value of k that makes the inequality true will give the outcome you want (the equation has 2 distinct real roots) and any value of k that makes it false will give the outcome you don't want (the equation doesn't have 2 distinct real roots, either 1 or 0 reak roots)

#

for part a you don't

devout reef
#

or just show that equation 1 = equation 2

alr tysm
