The answer is A because all the other answers don’t use the cooperative denominators
Discussion
The discriminate is b^2 - 4*a*c
The general equation for a quadratic is ax^2 + bx + c
In this equation's case
a = 1
b= -5
c = - 3
Solve
(-5)^2 - 4*(1)*(-3)
25 - (-12)
25 + 12
37
Note
Since the discriminate is > 0, the roots are real and different. The roots do exist and there are 2 of them.
For this case we must find the product of the following expression:
By definition of properties of powers and roots we have:
We rewrite the expression using the lowest common index of 6, then:
We rewrite the terms in an equivalent way:
We rewrite the expression using the property mentioned:
We combine using the product rule for radicals:
So:

Option b
Answer:
<em>2,300,000pages report.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a USB drive with memory of 4.6*10⁶KB, in order to know the maximum number of pages a report can have so that it can be completely stored on the drive, the conversion factor must be used.
We must first understand that 1 page of a document uses up approximately 2kB of the storage.
Since 2kB = 1page
4.6*10⁶KB = x page
Cross multiply
2kB * x = 4.6*10⁶KB * 1
2x = 4.6*10⁶
x = 4.6*10⁶/2
x = 2.3*10⁶
x = 2,300,000
<em>Hence the maximum number of pages that the report can have so that it can be completely stored on a USB drive that holds 4.6*10⁶KB is approximately 2,300,000pages report.</em>
