4 0

Answer:

The answer is 84.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

4x*2 + 2x -5 = 0

Here a= 4, b= 2, c= -5

Since Discriminant= b*2 -4ac

Putting values

Discriminant= (2)*2 - 4(4)(-5)

= 4 + 80

= 84

Since our Discriminant(84) is >0 and is not a perfect square so the roots of the given equation are unequal and irrational(real).

What is the flaw in Gina’s proof?
A) Points D and E must be constructed, not simply labeled, as midpoints.

B) Segments DE and AC are parallel by construction. THIS IS THE FLAW. THE SEGMENTS WERE NOT DRAWN NOR PROPERLY IDENTIFIED.

C) The slope of segments DE and AC is not 0.
