Hello!
The discriminant of quadratic functions is: b² - 4ac. Since the equation is in standard form, which is Ax² + Bx + C = 0 , we can substitute those values into our discriminant and simplify.
The value of the discriminant will tell us how many solutions there are to the given quadratic equation.
A positive discriminant will have two real solutions.
A discriminant of zero will have one real solution.
A negative discriminant will no real solutions.
1. Substitute, a = 16, b = 8, c = 1.
8² - 4(16)(1)
64 - 4(16)(1)
64 - 64(1)
64 - 64
0
Since the discriminant is zero, the answer is choice A, double root, because since it is raised to the power of 2, it must has two roots, but in this case, both of the roots the same x-values.

Answer:
442 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
To properly solve this question, I illustrate some given parameters using attached image
From the image, apply Pythagoras theorem

Differentiate w.r.t time (t)


Divide both sides by 2

From the question, we have that the plan travels are 510mi/h.
This implies that:

So, we then calculate the value of x when the distance (y) is 2mi i.e.:

Apply Pythagoras theorem






So, the expression becomes:








<em>Hence, the distance is 442 miles</em>
You know that BC is congruent to x so you need to solve for x using the ratio:

So then we need to find BC.
We know:


Therefore BC =8
Then:
