5.3 * 0.5 = 2.65
5.3/2=2.65
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that for a quadratic equation of the form:
The number of solutions it has can be determined using its discriminant:

Where:
- If the discriminant is positive, we have two real solutions.
- If the discriminant is negative, we have no real solutions.
- And if the discriminant is zero, we have exactly one solution.
We have the equation:

Thus, <em>a</em> = 2, <em>b</em> = 5, and <em>c</em> = -<em>k</em>.
In order for the equation to have exactly one distinct solution, the discriminant must equal zero. Hence:

Substitute:

Solve for <em>k</em>. Simplify:

Solve:

Thus, our answer is indeed A.

Explanation:</h2>
An expression that uses variables to state a rule is a formula. It's important to know that formulas uses the equals sign (=) and includes two or more variables. Formulas gives us information that we express symbolically. For example, the well known formula for the volume of a sphere is defined as:

So in this formula we have a relationship between the volume of a sphere and its radius, so if we have information about the radius of it we can easily calculate the volume of it.
