See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

The root of a quadratic equation is determined by its discriminant

D = b²-4ac

If D > 0, the roots are real and unique

If D < 0, the roots are complex

If D= 0, the roots are real and equal

a) For the quadratic equation

y=3x^2+7x+8

Since the highest degree of the equation is 2, hence the equation will have 2 roots

From the equation, a = 3,  b = 7 and c = 8

Get the discriminant

D = 7²-4(3)(8)

D = 49 - 96

D = -47

Since the discriminant value is less than 0, hence the roots are complex roots

b) For the quadratic equation

y=2x^2-7x-2

Since the highest degree of the equation is 2, hence the equation will have 2 roots

From the equation, a = 2,  b = -3 and c = -2

Get the discriminant

D = (-3)²-4(2)(-2)

D = 9 + 16

D = 25

Since the discriminant value is greater than 0, hence the roots are real and unique.

c) For the quadratic equation

y=9x^2+30x+25

Since the highest degree of the equation is 2, hence the equation will have 2 roots

From the equation, a = 9,  b = 30 and c = 25

Get the discriminant

D = 30²-4(9)(25)

D = 900 - 900

D = 0

Since the discriminant value is equal to 0, hence the roots are complex real and equal

54 kilometers per hour

step-by-step explanation:

according to rules:

1 km = 1000 meter

which means that 1 meter = 1/1000 km

1 hour = 3600 second [ as 1 hour = 60 min = 60 *60 seconds ]

which means that 1 second = 1/3600 hour

therefore, 1 kilometer/hour =

thus to convert 15 meter per second to kilometer per hour, we multiply 15 to 3.6 kilometer/hour.

15 meter/second=   which is the required answer.
