Answer:

$675

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = original price of laptop

Discount = 10%

Actual price paid = x - 10% of x

= x - .10x

= .90x

Cost of mouse = $13.99

Total amount paid = $621.49

Total amount paid = actual cost of laptop + Cost of mouse

621.49 = .90x + 13.99

621.49 - 13.99 = .90x

607.5 = .90x

x = 607.5 / .90

= 675

Original cost of the laptop = $675

The number of roots of a quadratic function can be determined from its discriminant.

If Disc> 0, the function has two distinct roots
If Disc = 0, the function has a repeated root
If Disc < 0, the function has no real root.

The discriminant can be calculated as:

Disc = b² - 4ac

For the given equation:

Disc = 9 - 4(2)(1) =1

Since the value of discriminant is positive, the function will have two distinct roots.

So, the answer to this question is option B
