Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic function has a degree of 2 so there will be two roots. The statement says the function does NOT CROSS THE X-AXIS so there are no real roots. That means both roots must be imaginary (complex).

Answer:

$a_8=38$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Recursive sequence </u>

In a recursive sequence formula, each term $a_n$ is computed as a function of one or more previous terms. In the formula

$a_n=a_{n-1}+5$

n is the number of the term we want to calculate. If n=8, then the formula becomes

$a_8=a_{7}+5$

We can see $a_{n-1}$ is the previous term. It means we need $a_7$ to be able to compute $a_8$ . But we also need $a_6$ to compute $a_7$ and so on until some known data is reached. The question provides five terms, $a_5=23.$
