Answer:

8 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is a trapezoid. The area of it is given by the formula ...

A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the parallel bases and h is the distance between them.

Your figure shows the base lengths to be 5 and 3, and their separation to be 2. Filling the numbers in the formula, we have ...

A = (1/2)(5 +3)(2) = (1/2)(8)(2) = 4·2 = 8

The area of the figure is 8 square units.

_____

The right-pointing arrows on the horizontal lines identify those lines as being parallel. The right-angle indicator and the 2 next to the dotted line indicate the perpendicular distance between the parallel lines is 2 units.

Answer:

$\text{D. }b^2-4ac>0$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation $b^2-4ac$ represents the discriminant of a quadratic. It is the part taken from under the radical in the quadratic formula.

For any quadratic:

If the discriminant is positive, or greater than 0, the quadratic has two solutions

If the discriminant is equal to 0, the quadratic has one distinct real solution (the solution is repeated).

If the discriminant is negative, or less than 0, the quadratic has zero solutions

In the graph, we see that the equation intersects the x-axis at two distinct points. Therefore, the quadratic has two solutions and the discriminant must be positive. Thus, we have $b^2-4ac>0$ .
