The discriminant is b^2 -4ac
a = 1
b = -2
c = 4

discriminant = 4 -4 * 1 * 4 =
4 -16 =
-12
I get MINUS 12 as the answer but that isn't one of the choices.

If x-y = 40 and x+y = 70, then what is the value of x squared -y squared ?

Let's see what to do buddy...

____________________________

Reminder:

$(a + b)(a - b) = {a}^{2} - {b}^{2}$

So we need to just Multiply above equations like this :

$x + y = 70$

$x - y = 40$

$(x + y)(x - y) = 70 \times 40$

${x}^{2} - {y}^{2} = 2800$

____________________________

And we're done.

Thanks for watching buddy good luck.
