Number of solutions: no roots
Type of solution: Not Real
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to identify the number of solutions and their types using the discriminant.
We are given: 
Rearranging:
Discriminant can be found by: 
where b=-40, a=10 and c=41
Putting values:
So, Discriminant is -40
If the discriminant is less than zero i.e -40 then there are no real roots.
So, Number of solutions: no roots
Type of solution: Not Real
Keywords: discriminant

PART A:
The given quadratic equation is 2x²-10x-8=0
The radicand is given by b²-4ac where a, b, and c are the constants in a quadratic form ax²+bx+c
From the given equation, we have
a = 2
b = -10
c = -8
Radicand b²-4ac = (-10)² - 4(2)(-8) = 100 + 64 = 164
The radicand is >0 hence the quadratic equation has two distinct roots
PART B:
4x²-12x+5 = 0
We can use the factorization method to solve the equation
Firstly, we multiply 4 by 5 to get 20
Then we find the pair of numbers that multiply gives 20 and sum gives -12
The pair of number is -2 and -10
Rewriting the equation
4x²-2x-10x+5 = 0
2x(2x-1)-5(2x-1) = 0
(2x-1)(2x-5) = 0
2x-1 = 0 and 2x-5 = 0
x = 1/2 and x = 5/2

The key word here is *square* in "square flower garden".
So we need to find the area of the flower garden, and subtract it from the overall area of the yard. The remainder will be how much grass covers the yard.
Area of the Square flower garden:
7.5 * 7.5 = 56.25
Area of the Entire yard:
25 * 18 = 450
450 - 56.25 = 393.75 square feet of grass
