we know that
The formula to calculate the <u>roots</u> of the <u>quadratic equation</u> of the form 
is equal to
where
The <u>discriminant</u> of the <u>quadratic equation</u> is equal to
if 
----> the <u>quadratic equation</u> has two <u>real roots</u>
if 
----> the <u>quadratic equation</u> has one <u>real root</u>
if 
----> the <u>quadratic equation</u> has two <u>complex roots</u>
in this problem we have that
the <u>discriminant</u> is equal to 
so
the <u>quadratic equation</u> has two <u>complex roots</u>
therefore
the answer is the option A
There are two complex roots
For example: if you chose to invite 10 people the skating rink would cost a total of $50 including the room fee
If you invite 10 people to the bowling alley you would spend $65 Including the room
The answer would be to choose the skating rink
The dot plot shows the frequency or length of the tadpoles
The total length of the tadpoles that are 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch long is 7/8 inches
<h3>How to determine the total length?</h3>
From the dot plot, we have the following parameters:
- 3 tadpoles have a length of 1/8
- 2 tadpoles have a length of 1/4
So, the total length is:
Total = 3 * 1/8 + 2 * 1/4
Evaluate the product
Total = 3/8 + 1/2
Rewrite as;
Total = 3/8 + 4/8
Evaluate the sum
Total = 7/8
Hence, the total length of the tadpoles that are 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch long is 7/8 inches
