Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation is,
x² + (p + 1)x = 5 - 2p
x² + (p + 1)x - (5 - 2p) = 0
x² + (p + 1)x + (2p - 5) = 0
Properties for the roots of a quadratic equation,
1). Quadratic equation will have two real roots, discriminant will be greater than zero. [(b² - 4ac) > 0]
2). If the equation has exactly one root, discriminant will be zero [(b² - 4ac) = 0]
3). If equation has imaginary roots, discriminant will be less than zero [(b² - 4ac) < 0].
Discriminant of the given equation =
For real roots,
p² + 2p + 1 - 8p + 20 > 0
p² - 6p + 21 > 0
For all real values of 'p', given equation will be greater than zero.
Answer:
Options (B) and (E)
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of ΔABC =
=
= 42 in²
Area of trapezoid ADEC =
[Here, and
are the parallel sides and 'h' is the height of the isosceles trapezoid given]
=
= 96 in²
Area of the pentagon = Area of triangle ABC + Area of trapezoid ADEC
= 42 + 96
= 138 in²
Therefore, Options (B) and (E) are the correct options.
