The number of roots of a quadratic function can be determined from its discriminant.
If Disc> 0, the function has two distinct roots
If Disc = 0, the function has a repeated root
If Disc < 0, the function has no real root.
The discriminant can be calculated as:
Disc = b² - 4ac
For the given equation:
Disc = 9 - 4(2)(1) =1
Since the value of discriminant is positive, the function will have two distinct roots.
So, the answer to this question is option B
Answer:
(1/2x6.9x8) (1/2x 10x6.9) =

Answers: B, C, F</h3>
Each of these are closed figures formed by straight line segments. Think of fencing in an area (not necessarily a rectangle) using various straight fence sections. The length of each section does not have to be the same.
Side notes:
- Choice A is not a polygon because the figure is not closed.
- Choice D is not a polygon because it is not composed of line segments only. Choice D is an ellipse instead.
- Choice E is not a polygon due to the curved portion.
Answer:
If twice the opposite of a number increased by five, then the result is the opposite of a number.
The asiest way to solve this is the guess and check method. It is asking you what a number doubled then by adding five is the opposite of that number. Now go through a few SINGLE digit numbers to try and solve. I hope this helps.
Plan A costs a total of $95 since it says $95 for unlimited talk and text.
Plan B:
(.10 x 800) + (.05 x 1000)
The (.10 x 800) represents 10 cents per talk minute for 800 minutes.
The (.05 x 1000) represents 5 cents per text message for 1000 text messages.
Solve:
.10 x 800 = 80
.05 x 1000 = 50
80 + 50 = 130
This means Plan B will cost him $130 under these conditions.
Plan C:
20 + ((.05 x 800)+(.05 x 1000))
The 20 + represents a flat rate of $20 per month.
The (.05 x 800) represents 5 cents per call minute.
The (.05 x 1000) represents 5 cents per text.
Solve:
.05 x 800 = 40
.05 x 1000 = 50
20 + 40 + 50 = 110
This means Plan C will cost him $110 under these conditions.
Plan D:
45 + (.10(800 - 500))
The 45 + represents a flat monthly rate of $45.
The (800 - 500) represents how many minutes he has to pay for with the 500 free.
The .10 is the cost per extra minute.
Solve:
800 - 500 = 300
.10 x 300 = 30
45 + 30 = 75
This means Plan D will cost him $75 under these conditions.
In short:
Plan A- $95
Plan B- $130
Plan C- $110
Plan D- $75
The least expensive among these is Plan D, which only costs $75 per month.
