Hey there!

\large\boxed{-7}

The formula for the discriminant is represented by b²-4ac.

We need to identify the values for a, b, and c.

This equation is in general form, which is ax² + bx + c = 0.

So, a = -2, b = -1, and c = -1.

Plug the values into the formula.

(-1)²-4(-2)(-1)

Square.

1-4(-2)(-1)

Multiply.

1-4(2)

1-8

Subtract.

-7

The discriminant is -7.

This means there are no real solutions to the equation, because the discriminant is negative.

Hope this helps!

solong [7]

The Aztecs, Incas, and Chinese, all had well developed civilizations, and they all used labor force or tributary system. All of them though has different systems and requirements in this department.

The Aztecs had lot of conquered people. They required tribute in the form of people for sacrifice. As the Aztecs has Gods that were very thirsty for human blood, in order to not sacrifice themselves, the Aztecs were taking people for the other tribes and sacrificed them.

The Inca system of labor force seem to have been the most just one. In this system, everyone, apart from the emperor, had to work for the good of everyone and for the good of themselves. Everyone lived in same homes, wore the same clothes, and worked the same types of jobs.

In China, the tribute system was based on forced labor of the people that were conquered. They had to work, produce certain goods, and give part of those goods or part of the profit from those goods to the governing bodies.

Answer:

The answer is:

A.They did not have the most advanced military equipment.

C.There was a lack of unity among members of various groups.

E.They were weakened by trade restrictions and blockades

The difference in military equipment made the colonized country unable to defend themselves in the face of Europeans threat.

When this happened, some people decided to surrender to the European while some decided to fight, which divided the unity among them. Not only that, if the majority of people refused to follow the colony, they would be given restrictions and blockades which hurt their economy.
