In the questions, select the missing number from the given responses.
Observing the pattern in the numbers:
- The numbers in the star seem to follow a multiplication pattern.
- Checking the diagonal pairs:
- \( 8 \times 10 = 80 \) - \( 3 \times 30 = 90 \) Thus, the missing number should satisfy: \[ ? \times 2 = 80 \] Solving for \( ? \): \[ ? = \frac{80}{2} = 40\]
Thus, the missing number is 40.
If the roots of the quadratic equation \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \) are real and equal, then:
