When a quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c has a double root, the discriminant,
D=b^2-4ac=0
Here 
a=2,
b=b,
c=18
and 
D=b^2-4ac=b^2-4*2*18=0 
solve for b
b^2-144=0
=> b= ± sqrt(144)= ± 12

So in order that the given equation has double roots,  the possible values of b are ± 12.

6. All angles in the figure below are right angles. What is the area of the figure? (1 point)
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the figure given in the picture = Area of large rectangle - Area of rectangle A

Area of rectangle A = Length × Width

                                 = [9 - (2 + 4)] × 3

                                 = 3 × 3

                                 = 9

Area of the large rectangle = Length × Width

                                             = 9 × 5

                                             = 45

Therefore, area of the given figure = 45 - 9

                                                          = 36

Option (4) will be the correct option.

15. Bhargav stops in at a deli to get lunch for
Colt1911 [192]

Each roast beef cost $4 and each vegetarian sandwich cost $2.5

Let x represent the cost of each roast beef and let y represent the cost of each vegetarian sandwich.

Bhargav buys five roast beef and three  vegetarian sandwiches and the order costs $27.50. This can be represented by the equation:

5x + 3y = 27.50     (1)

Bhargav buys 2 roast beef and 6  vegetarian sandwiches and the order costs $23.00. This can be represented by the equation:

2x + 6y = 23.00     (2)

To find x and y, we have to solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously. Multiply equation 1 by 2 and subtract equation 2 from the result:

8x = 32

x = 4

Put x = 4 in equation 2

2(4) + 6y = 23.00

6y = 15

y = 2.5

Therefore each roast beef cost $4 and each vegetarian sandwich cost $2.5
