Problem 40
Use the discriminant to determine whether the solutions for each equation are A. two rational numbers B. one rational number C. two irrational numbers D. two nonreal complex numbers. Tell whether the equation can be solved by factoring or whether the quadratic formula should be used. Do not actually solve. $$ 4 x^{2}-28 x+49=0 $$
Problem 43
Use the discriminant to determine whether the solutions for each equation are A. two rational numbers B. one rational number C. two irrational numbers D. two nonreal complex numbers. Tell whether the equation can be solved by factoring or whether the quadratic formula should be used. Do not actually solve. $$ 3 x^{2}=5 x+2 $$
Problem 44
