Any equation of the form p (x) = 0, where p (x) is a polynomial of degree 2, is a quadratic equation

The correct answer is: 4


    Step 1 of 1:
    Jump 1: b to the power of 2 end exponent minus 4 a c equals 2 to the power of 2 end exponent minus 4 blank cross times blank minus 4 blank cross times blank 0.5 equals 4 plus 8 equals 12
    Jump 2: b to the power of 2 end exponent minus 4 a c equals 2 to the power of 2 end exponent minus 4 blank cross times blank minus 4 blank cross times blank 1.5 equals 4 plus 12 equals 16
