  A.  d = 0 -- one (1) solution

  B.  x = {1, 3.5}

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The discriminant for ax²+bx+c = 0 is ...

  d = b² -4ac

For the given equation, this is ...

  d = (-36)² -4(9)(36) = 0

The discriminant is zero (0).

The discriminant divided by the leading coefficient (a=2) will give the difference between the two roots of the equation. When the difference is zero, as here, both roots are the same. Effectively, there is one (1) solution to the equation.

B. The equation can be factored as ...

  2x² -9x +7 = (2x -7)(x -1) = 0

The solutions are the values of x that make the factors be zero:

  2x -7 = 0  ⇒  x = 7/2

  x -1 = 0  ⇒  x = 1

  The solutions are x = 7/2  or  x = 1.
