Can someone explain it to me, i don't need the answer, i just need an detailed explanation of how they got the answer using the method that they provided

Step-by-step explanation:

Good idea to review quadratic functions and the quadratic formula.

Quadratics have three coefficients:  ax² + bx + c, and the "discriminant" is defined as b²-4ac.  Please review these rules:

1) if the discriminant is +, the quadratic equation has two real, unequal roots.

2) if the disc. is 0, the equation has two real, equal root.

3) If the disc. is - , the equation has two complex roots.

Here a = 1, b  = -3 and c = 4.  Therefore the discriminant is (-3)²-4(1)(4), or

-7.  Rule 3) applies:  the equation has two complex roots, but no real ones.  Thus we know that the graph does not cross the x-axis.

Graphing the given quadratic, x² - 3x + 4, using a dashed "line," is helpful.  As you can see in the illustration of this graph, the graph neither touches nor crosses the x-axis.  Thus, y = x² - 3x + 4 is greater than 0 for all x.  The  All real numbers.

answer: given that the roller coaster can accommodate 1600 riders per hour, thus the roller coaster can accomodate 1600 / 60 = 26.67 riders per minute.

given that there are 345 people in the line, the number of minutes it will take for the 345 persons to get into the roller coaster is given by 345 / 26.67 = 12.94 minutes.

therefore, it will take you 12.94 minutes to get to the front of the line.

step-by-step explanation:

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
