Which statement about the following equation is true? 3x2 – 8x + 5 = 5x2 a. the discriminant is less than 0, so there are two real roots. b. the discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two real roots. c. the discriminant is less than 0, so there are two complex roots. d. the discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two complex roots.

The given expression is

We have to find the discriminant first . And for that, first we need to move whole terms of the left side to right side, that is

The formula of discriminant is

Substituting the values of a,b and c, we will get

And since the discriminant is greater than 0, or it is positive so we have two real roots.

Therefore the correct option is B .

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
