The Equation is y = -33x²+68x+13

To find the X-intercepts of the Equation, we make y = 0.

-33x²+68x+13 = 0

To find the roots of the equation, we use the formula image where a= -33 , b = 68 and c = 13.

Roots are image and image

Roots are -0.17 and 2.23

Therefore x -intercepts points are (-0.17,0) and (2.23 , 0).

The Expression is 16(3x+1)² - 25(y+3)².

16(3x+1)² - 25(y+3)²

= 16(9x²+1+6x) - 25(y²+9+6y)

= 144x² + 16 + 96x - (25y² + 225 + 150y)

= 144x² + 16 + 96x - 25y² - 225 - 150y

= 144x² - 25y² + 96x - 150y - 209

Therefore the simplified Expression is 144x² - 25y² + 96x - 150y - 209.

The roots of the Quadratic equation is -2x² + 3x + 8 = 0.

To find the roots of the equation, we use the formula image where a= -2 , b = 3 and c = 8.

Roots are -1.386 and 2.886

Therefore the nature of roots are real and irrational in nature.

The Quadratic Expression is 3x² - 5x + k = 0.

To find the roots of the equation, we use the formula image where a= 3 , b = -5 and c = k.

There are three cases,

Case 1) image, then roots are real.

image

Case 2) image, then roots are equal.

image

Case 3) image, then roots are imaginary

image

Therefore the Value of the k depends on the nature of the root.
