Given the equation 2x2 - 5x + 7 = 0. Find the discriminant. Describe the roots and explain your reasoning.

The discriminant of a quadratic equation is a parameter that is used to determine the nature of the roots of the equation. The discriminant can be determined by b2- 4ac. In this case, upon substitution, 25- 4*2*7 = -31 in which the roots are negative and iimaginary.

Antoine and Tess have a disagreement over how to compute a 15% gratuity on $46.00. Tess says, “It is easy to find 10% of 46 by moving the decimal point one place to the left to get $4.60. Do that twice. Then add the two amounts to get $4.60 + $4.60 = $9.20 for the 15% gratuity.” How should Antoine respond to Tess’s method?
