7x2-2x-17=0 a)Find the discrminant of the above quadratic.

b) Based on the the discriminant state the number and type of solutions.

c) Solve the quadratic.

the correct answer is b.

this is because an open circle means < or > & since the line goes left it is < -3.

the next one has a filled circle so it can only be ≥ or ≤ and since the line goes right from 1 it is ≥ 1

hope that

we are given scale of 2 units.

on graph paper the space is 2.5 cm.

length of glass = 8 units.

8 units = 2 units +2 units +2 units +2 units.

each 2 unit is = 2.5cm.

therefore,

8 units = 2 units +2 units +2 units +2 units = 2.5+2.5+2.5+2.5= 10cm.
