Answer:

two real, unequal  roots

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a quadratic equation.  The quadratic formula can be used to determine how many and what kind of roots may exist:  

Find the discriminant, which is defined as b^2 - 4ac, if ax^2 + bx + c = 0.  In this case, a = 1, b = -2 and c  = -8, so that the discriminant value is

(-2)^2 - 4(1)(-8), or 4 + 32  =  36.

Because the discriminant is real and positive, we know for certain that we have two real, unequal  roots

For the square find coordinates for B without using any new variables
damaskus [11]

The geometric term described as an infinite set of points that has length but not width is called a line. It has a negligible with and depth. In geometry, a line located in the plane is defined as the set of points whose coordinates satisfy a given linear equation. A line segment however is a line connected by two dots far apart from each other and then connected. For example is the equation y=mx+b. This is a slope intercept form which is a linear equation.

*you get 16 points*PLEASE ANSWER i’m kinda failing so help
Alecsey [184]
The answer is four because there's one line that is placed on the origin which makes it no solution because there's not supposed to be a line on the origin and number 1 is a solution because there are neither lines plotted on the origin and has parallel lines
