We can use quadratic formula to determine the roots of the given quadratic equation.

The quadratic formula is:

$x= \frac{-b+- \sqrt{ b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}$

b = coefficient of x term = 12
a = coefficient of squared term = 4
c = constant term = 9

Using the values, we get:

$x= \frac{-12+- \sqrt{144-4(4)(9)} }{2(4)} \\ \\ 
x= \frac{-12+-0}{8} \\ \\ 
x= \frac{-3}{2}$

So, the correct answer to this question is option B

Find the value of the expression |2x−8| where x=−2.5; 0; 4; 5; 9.5.

The absolute value $|x|$ returns the "positive version" of a number. In other words, if $x$ is already positive, then $|x|=x$ . Otherwise, if $x$ is negative, then the absolute value changes its sign, so that it returns positive: $|x|=-x$ .

So, in this case, we have to plug the required values for $x$ in the expression $2x-8$ . Then, if the result is positive we're ok, otherwise we discard the negative sign.
