In the quadratic ax²+bx+c the discriminant is determined by b²-4ac. If this expression is positive the roots are real; if negative, the roots are complex; if the expression is zero the quadratic is a perfect square of the form x-b/2a.
If b²-4ac is a perfect square and positive the roots are rational, otherwise they are irrational.

A digital camera memory card is 1/4 full. The card is 2/3 full when 375 more pictures have been taken.
marusya05 [52]
To get the answer first we have to find full numbers.
We can use proportion
2/3 ----------------------- 375
1 -------------------------- x
Crossmultiply now
2/3*x=375           /:2/3 
x=375: \frac{2}{3} 
x=375* \frac{3}{2}=562 - its the answer A)
Now we have to find how much were originally on the card.
To get the answer we can just multiply 562 times 1/4.
562*1/4=140 - its the asnwer B)
