13. Multiple-Choice Test Item What is the positive solution of the equation ?
B 5
C 6
D 7
Read the Test Item
You are asked to find the positive solution of the given quadratic equation. This implies that the equation also has a solution that is not positive. Since a quadratic equation can either have one, two, or no solutions, we should expect this equation to have two solutions.
