Mathematics

7 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A discriminate of -8 is never going to give you a real root. D is wrong

You cannot have just 1 complex root, nor can you have just 1 real root unless the discriminate is 0. A and C are both wrong for the same reason. 1 complex root is impossible. They come in pairs.

So the answer is B. You have 2 complex roots.

VikaD [51]

Answer:

22.1 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

(780 g)(0.829^19) ≈ 22.1 g

After 19 minutes 22.1 grams remain.
