Use the discriminant to determine all values of k which would result in the graph of the equation y = x2 + 20x + k not intersecting the x-axis.

k > 100

Step-by-step explanation:

y= x²+20x+k

if the graph doesn't intersect the x-axis it means it has no real roots so the discriminat has to be negative so will have imaginary roots

discriminant is

b²-4ac = 20²-4*1*k = 400-4k for this to be negative k has to be more then 100 so will have 400 - a number bigger then 400

k > 100 is the solution

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.
