Step-by-step explanation:
I believe that a rectangular prism since (hence the name) it's made up of rectangles, only with 2 squares helping to close it up.

Probability of survival of one disk, p=1-0.05=0.95
If there are n drives, and failures are independent (e.g. mechanical wear and tear, and not a lightning strike or a current spike), then
Probability of survival = p^n
(a) for two disks, P(2) = 0.95^2=0.9025
(b)for three disks P(3) = 0.95^3 = 0.8574
The discriminant is b^2-4ac
In this equation 9=a, 12=b, 4=c
Plugging into the formula
12^2-4(9)(4)=
144-324 =
-180 is the discriminant
Since the discriminant is a negative number there are no real roots
