Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac, where a, b and c come from the form of the quadratic equation as ax^2 + bx + c
Discriminant = (4)^2 - 4(1)(5)
= 16 - 20
= -4
-4 < 0, therefor there are no roots
(If the discriminant = 0, then there is one root
If the discriminant > 0, there are two roots, and if it is a perfect square (eg. 4, 9, 16, etc.) then there are two rational roots
If the discriminant < 0, there are no roots)

Answer:
$49.35
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount of Ann money, y be Jessica's money and z Mary money.
30% of z equates 0.3*z.
Ann has 30% less than z so: x = z - 0.3z = 0.7z.
70% of z equates 0.7z.
"Jessica has 70% more than Mary " we deduce the equation: y =z+0.7z= 1.7z.
Signe the total is $102, we deduce the equation x+y+z = 102.
x=0.7z and y=1.7z then 0.7z+1.7z+z=102, therefore 3.4z=102 then
z =102/3.4 = $30.
x=0.7*30= 21 and y=1.7*30=51.
Ann has $21, Mary has $30 and Jessica has $51.
