The number of roots of a quadratic function can be determined from its discriminant.
If Disc> 0, the function has two distinct roots
If Disc = 0, the function has a repeated root
If Disc < 0, the function has no real root.
The discriminant can be calculated as:
Disc = b² - 4ac
For the given equation:
Disc = 9 - 4(2)(1) =1
Since the value of discriminant is positive, the function will have two distinct roots.
So, the answer to this question is option B
So the recipe calls for 96 grams of sugar, and one cup is 128 grams of sugar.
She added a half of a cup, and as they said before one cup was 128 grams of sugar. So half of 128 is 64. So she added 64 grams of sugar. The recipe needs 96 grams so 64 grams is not enough sugar.
So 96 grams minus 64 equals 32 grams. So she still needs 32 grams of sugar.
So since the answers are all in cups, we must convert our answer from grams to cups.
So we have 32 grams of sugar left and to convert it we must put the 32 grams out of one cup. Once again one cup is 128 grams of sugar. So the amount of cups we need is 32/128 (fraction).
Also we need to simplify our fraction to completely answer the question. So we divide the numerator and denominator by 32.
So the final answer is 1/4. So the answer is D or the last answer out of the multiple choice.
