-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: A, C, D
Discussion:
The solution of the quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is
x = ( -b +\- (b^2 - 4ac) ^ (1/2) ) /2a
The expression b^2 - 4ac is called the discriminant, occurs in the numerator of the solution, and also occurs inside a square root (called a radicand).
The question, while intelligible, should be stated more clearly.

The points are (2,150), (4,200).
The slope of the line joining the points is,
Thus, the slope represents the increse in cost per year of membership.
X^2+12x+6=0 subtract 6 from both sides...
x^2+12x=-6 halve linear coefficient, square it, and add it to both sides...
x^2+12x+36=30 now the left side is a perfect square...
(x+6)^2=30 take square root of both sides...
x+6=30^(1/2) subtract 6 from both sides...
x=-6-30^(1/2) and -6+30^(1/2)
