Answer:

  C.  two real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Your quadratic matches the form ...

  ax^2 +bx +c = 0

for the values a=2, b=7, c=-15.

The discriminant is ...

  d = b^2 -4ac

For your values of a, b, c, the discriminant value is ...

  d = 7^2 -4(2)(-15) = 169

The discriminant is positive, indicating there are two real solutions.

_____

When the discriminant is negative, there are no real solutions, only complex solutions.

When the discriminant is zero, there is one real solution.

__

This equation factors as (2x-3)(x+5) = 0 and has solutions x=3/2, x=-5.

Use the distance formula to find distance between two points. Need help on this ASAP.
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

a) 20 units

b) 2 √10 units

c) 2 √17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is;

D = √(y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2

a) D = √(-7-9)^2 + (-7-5)^2

D = √256 + 144

D = √400

D = 20

b) D = √(10-8)^2 + (9-2)^2

D = √(2)^2 + 6^2

D = √4 + 36)

D = √40

D = 2 √10 units

c) D = √(1 + 7)^2 + (-8+10)^2

D = √(64 + 4)

D = √68

D = 2 √17 units
