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

the answer

b. they are parallel and will never intersect.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
