8. Find the number of real number solutions for the equation. x2 – 10x + 25 = 0

A. 0
B. 1
C. 2
D. cannot be determined

B. 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Option B is correct

The number of real number solutions for the given equation is, 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:  

Since, this is a quadratic equation of the form of  

where a =1 , b = -10 and c =25.

The discriminant of a quadratic equation is,  

then;

Discriminant =  = (100-100) = 0

Since, a  discriminant of zero means there is only one real solution for x.

Substitute the given values.

Simplify:

x = 5

Therefore, the number of real solution for the given equation is, 1

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
