Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic formula is:

The discriminant of a quadratic is just the expression under the square root, or
. This can tell us the number of solutions a quadratic has.
If the discriminant is:
- Positive = 2 real solutions
- Equal to Zero = 1 real double/repeated solution
- Negative = 0 real solutions, but 2 imaginary solutions
Our quadratic equation has a discriminant of 5, which is positive. Therefore, it has 2 real solutions.
Answer:
The sandals cost before tax $25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the sandals cost before tax $x.
So, after giving an 8% tax the price will be
