Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A discriminate of -8 is never going to give you a real root. D is wrong
You cannot have just 1 complex root, nor can you have just 1 real root unless the discriminate is 0. A and C are both wrong for the same reason. 1 complex root is impossible. They come in pairs.
So the answer is B. You have 2 complex roots.

i think a is 50,000? if you go along the x axis until you get to 40 and then go up and see where the blue line is the blue line is on 50,000
Step-by-step explanation:
well, the starting equation and the target format have been given.
let's do the multiplications and compare the target with the starting information.
from there we see what is different or missing.
x² + 14x + 13 = 0
and
(x - p)² = q
x² - 2px + p² = q
x² - 2px + (p² - q) = 0
now let's compare the different parts :
x² = x²
-2px = 14x
-2p = 14
p = -7
p² - q = 13
-7² - q = 13
49 - q = 13
36 - q = 0
q = 36
so, the square (x - p)² = (x + 7)² is completed when
x² + 14x + 49 = 0
but we have only "+ 13". so we need to add 36 to get 49. but we need to do it on both sides, to keep the equation true :
x² + 14x + 13 + 36 = 36
x² + 14x + 49 = 36
(x + 7)² = 36
just as we calculated already above.
and now this can be solved by pulling the square root on both sides (a quadratic equation has always 2 solutions)
x + 7 = ±6
x1 = 6 - 7 = -1
x2 = -6 - 7 = -13
