If the discriminant is a positive number, there will be 2 possible solutions. If you replace the entire section of b²-4ac with 16, you will see that the equation becomes; (-b+-√16)/2a --> leading to an answer with the + and another with the -.
If the discriminant is 0, there will be 1 possible solution, (again replace this into the discriminant value) (-b)/2a ---> this formula is used to also find the x coordinates of a vertex, fyi.
If the discriminant is a negative number, there will be no solution (since squareroot of a negative number is not possible)
Hope I helped :)

Answer: his pay for the 4th year is $1453.16
Step-by-step explanation:
The landlord raises the rent 1.25% each year. It means that the rent is increasing in geometric progression.
The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as
Tn = ar^(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
r represents the common ratio.
n represents the number of terms.
From the information given,
a = $1,400
r = 1 + 1.25/100 = 1.0125
n = 4 years
The 4th term(year), T4 is
T4 = 1400 × 1.0125^(4 - 1)
T4 = 1400 × 1.0125^3
T4 = $1453.16
(3/4) / (15/28) = (3*28) / (4*15) = 84/60 = 42/30 = 21/15 = 7/5
