<em>Step #1: </em>
Make sure the equation is in the form of [ Ax² + Bx + C = 0 ].

Yours is already in that form.
A = 1
B = 2
C = -2

<em>Step #2:</em>
The 'discriminant' for that equation is [ B² - 4 A C ].
That's all there is to it, but it can tell you a lot about the roots of the equation.

-- If the discriminant is zero, then the left  side of the equation is a perfect square,
and both roots are equal. 

-- If the discriminant is greater than zero, the the roots are real and not equal.

-- If the discriminant is less than zero, then the roots are complex numbers.

The discriminant of your equation is  [ B² - 4 A C ] = 2² - 4(1)(-2) = 4 + 8 = 12

Your equation has two real, unequal roots.

A merchant buys a television for $125 and sells it for a retail price of $200. What is the markup
beks73 [17]
The markup is the percent of the original price that it is increased by. To determine the percentage marked up, you will subtract the new price and the original price, and then divide that by the original price.

200-125=$75

75/200=0.375 or 37.5% markup.

How can the mean of the values in a numerical data set be calculated?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is the average. To find mean, add all the numbers in a data set, then divide by the number of values.

Example: 1,2,3,4,5

Mean: 1+2+3+4+5= 15

Number of values: 5

15/5 = 3

Mean is 3
