All these equations are in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are some numbers. the discriminants of equations like this are equal to b^2 - 4ac. if the discriminant is negative, there are two imaginary solutions. if the discriminant is positive, there are two real solutions. if the discriminant is 0, there is one real solution.
<span>x^2 + 4x + 5 = 0
</span>b^2 - 4ac
4^2 - 4(1)(5)
16-20
-4, two imaginary solutions.
<span>x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0
</span>b^2 - 4ac
(-4)^2 - 4(1)(-5)
16 + 20
36, two real solutions.
<span>4x^2 + 20x + 25 = 0
</span>b^2 - 4ac
20^2 - 4(4)(25)
400 - 400
0, one real solution.
Answer:
the answer is a) term
Step-by-step explanation:
hope this helps! :)
brainliest?
a = amount invested at 7%
b = amount invested at 9%
we know the amount invested was ₹36000, thus we know that whatever "a" and "b" are, a + b = 36000. We can also say that
since we know the interest earned from the invested was ₹2920, then we say that 0.07a + 0.09b = 2920.

The first option would be the right answer. Martha has 33, where jackson has 22
