Explanation:

Discriminant of quadratic equation ( ax² + bx + c = 0 ) could be calculated by using :

D = b² - 4 a c

From the value of Discriminant , we know how many solutions the equation has by condition :

D < 0 → No Real Roots

D = 0 → One Real Root

D > 0 → Two Real Roots

An axis of symmetry of quadratic equation y = ax² + bx + c is :

Let us now tackle the problem!

Given:

f(x) = 3x² - 6x - 13

Asked:

Domain = ?

Solution:

Velocity is a vector quantity.

Vector quantity has magnitude and direction.

Directon of vector is represented by the sign of the quantity

If x is the velocity of the boat relative to land , then:

The value of x could be positive , negative or zero.

Answer:

Anthony is rowing a boat upstream. The following equation models his speed: f(x) = 3x2 − 6x − 13, where x is the velocity of the boat relative to land. What is the domain of the function?

All real numbers

x ≥ 1

x ≤ −6

x ≥ −13
