Answer:

<h3>           sum of the roots:    x_1+x_2=4\frac12</h3><h3>           product of the roots:     x_1x_2=-5             </h3><h3> Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

2x^2-9x-10=0\quad\implies\quad a=2\,,\ b=-9\,,\ c=-10

b^2-4ac=(-9)^2-4(2)(-10)=81+80=161>0

From Vieta's formulas applied to quadratic polynomial we have:

if    b^2-4ac\geqslant0   then

sum of roots:    x_1+x_2=-\dfrac ba=-\dfrac{-9}2=4\frac12

product of the roots:     x_1x_2=\dfrac ca=\dfrac{-10}2=-5

By letting x be the cost of each bag of wild bird seed, the total cost for purchasing 3 bags of this is 3x. The equation that may be used to determine x is letter "B. 3x + 18 = 45". Each bag costs $9.
