The discriminant of a quadratic expression

, where a in not 0, is the expression

.
Thus, we compare

to

and see that
a=1, b=1, c=2.
Substituting these values in

, we have:

.
Answer: -7
The equation
equals to 
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve the equation:

Solving:
Adding 9 on both sides

Applying absolute rule: |u| < a and a > 0 then, -a < u < a
So, 
Now we have,
m-8>-9 and m-8 <9
m>-9+8 and m <9+8
m>-1 and m<17
Combining the intervals:
-1 < m < 17
So the equation
equals to

I believe they are all false.
The answer is C. the reson is because a function have to have a input that have only one output.
