by how much does the larger root of the equation 2 b ^ 2 + 5 b = 12 exceed the smaller root ?
"for 2 b ^ 2 + 5 b = 12 roots are [ - 5 + sqrt ( 25 + 96 ) ] / 4 or [ - 5 - sqrt ( 25 + 96 ) ] / 4 = 1.5 or - 4 hence larger root 1.5 is 1.5 - ( - 4 ) = 5.5 = 11 / 2 greater than smaller root ( - 4 ) . hence option ( e ) ."
subtract(divide(add(5, sqrt(add(power(5, 2), multiply(multiply(2, 12), const_4)))), multiply(2, 2)), divide(subtract(5, sqrt(add(power(5, 2), multiply(multiply(2, 12), const_4)))), multiply(2, 2)))
