Part A: the radicand is the same as the discriminant, therefore is b2 - 4ac
In 9x^2 - 16x + 60 = 0, a = 9, b = -16, c = 60
so b2 - 4ac =

Part B: Solve 4x^2 + 8x - 5 = 0
What would make 8? (5×2)-2 = 8, so:
(2x+5)(2x-1) = 0
2x+5 = 0
2x = -5
x = -5/2
2x-1 = 0
2x = 1
x = +1/2
So the solutions are: -5/2, +1/2

Answer:
(n/2)+5
Step-by-step explanation:
With n representing the unknown number, to get half of that number, divide the number by 2. n/2. Then, increase that quotient by 5.
(n/2)+5
