Since p = x² - 7, you can substitute/plug in p for x² - 7
So:
(x² - 7)² - 4x² + 28 = 5
(p)² - 4x² + 28 = 5 You can factor out -4 from (-4x² + 28)
p² - 4(x² - 7) = 5 Plug in p
p² - 4p = 5 Subtract 5
p² - 4p - 5 = 0 Your answer is C
Answer:
The answer is "The discriminant is positive"
Step-by-step explanation:
When the discriminant is positive there is two real solutions.
When the discriminant is equal to 0, there is one real solution.
When the discriminant is negative, there is no real number solutions.
