Which of the following quadratic equations has real, rational, and distinct roots?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(x^2-9x+20=0\)

For option A, the discriminant is \(D=b^2-4ac=(-9)^2-4(1)(20)=1\). Since \(D>0\) and 1 is a perfect square, the roots are real, rational, and distinct. In fact, the equation factors as \((x-4)(x-5)=0\), giving roots 4 and 5. The discriminants of options B, C, and D are \(-3,-39,-16\), respectively, so their roots are not real. Exam tip: For a quadratic equation, \(D>0\) and a perfect-square discriminant indicate distinct real rational roots.
