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

o-na [289]

Answer: 10.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Time taken to read each page of health book = 0.8 minutes

Time taken to take the test at the end = 5.5 minutes

Let x be the number of pages of book to read, then time taken to read pages and take the test is given by :-

T(x)=0.8x+5.5

If we read 6.25 pages, then time taken to read 6.25 pages and take the test is given by :-

T(6.25)=0.8(6.25)+5.5=5+5.5=10.5\ minutes
