If the discriminant, b² - 4ac is<u> positive</u>

<h3>How to complete the statement?</h3>

From the question, we have the following equation of discriminant

The discriminant (d) is calculated as

d = b² - 4ac

The solutions of a quadratic equation are dependent on the following conditions

If d = 0, the quadratic equation has 1 real solution
If d < 0, the quadratic equation has imaginary solutions
If d > 0, the quadratic equation has 2 different real solutions

This means that "d > 0, the quadratic equation has 2 different real solutions" implies that the discriminant is positive

Hence, the complete statement is (b) positive

Lin and Jen each thought of a number. Lin thought of a 2-digit number. Jen’s number is 7 times as big as Lin’s. But, if Lin writ

FromTheMoon [43]

The numbers are 15 and 105.

Lin thought a two digit number that is 15, if we multiply 15 with 7 , 15 x 7 = 105 that is we get Jen's number.
and if we put 0 between the two digits of Lin's number, we also get Jen's number;
that is 105.
