Remember that in PEMDAS, you do the parentheses first.
1. For each answer choice, do whatever is in the parentheses first.
2. Multiply that number to the one outside the parentheses
Hint: For this problem, If all the signs in the answer choice are multiplication, they will equal the same number.
The answer is 10 :) ........
Answer:
<h3>Sum of Roots =<u> (-8)</u><u> </u><u> </u></h3><h3>Product of Roots = <u> </u><u> </u><u>(-84)</u><u> </u><u> </u></h3>
Step-by-step explanation:

Roots :- 6 and -14
Sum of the roots :
[6 + (-14)]
= (-8)//
Product of the roots :
[(6)(-14)]
= (-84)//
Remark
It is not a straight line distance from the park to the mall. None of the answers give you that result. And if you know what displacement is, none of the answers are really displacement either. The distance is sort of a "as the crow flies." distance. There's a stop off in the middle of town.
Method
You need to use the Pythagorean Formula twice -- once from the park to the city Center and once from the city center to the mall.
Distance from the Park to the city center.
a = 3 [distance east]
b = 4 [distance south]
c = ??
c^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 Take the square root of both sides.
c = sqrt(3^2 + 4^2)
c = sqrt(9 + 16) Add
c = sqrt(25)
c = 5
So the distance from the park to the city center is 5 miles
Distance from City center to the mall
a = 2 miles [distance east]
b = 2 miles [distance north]
c = ??
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 Substitute
c^2 = 2^2 + 2^2 Expand this.
c^2 = 4 + 4
c^2 = 8 Take the square root of both sides.
sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(8)
c = sqrt(8) This is the result
c = 2.8
Answer
Total distance = 5 + 2.8 = 7.8
