Can someone help me with part A? I've been stuck on it for 30 minutes now and nobody has been able to help me with it so far :(

The discriminant is negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the parabola does not hit the x-axis, there are no x-intercepts to the graph or real roots of the equation.  This means the square root portion of the quadratic formula failed to produce any real solutions, because you ended up trying to take the square root of a negative number.

When this happens, the equation will have two imaginary/complex solutions.

since the airplane is moving with constant speed then the distance travelled can be calculated by x=u*t

in km/h would be:

x=640*3.5=2.240 km

in m/s would be:

u=640 km/h= 640.000 m/h =640.000/ 3600 m/s =177.8 m/s

t= 3.5 h= 3.5 * 3600 s=12.600 s

then x=u*t= 177.8*12.600= 2.240.280 m

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1
