Wait, is this a math exam or a stand-up comedy routine? Either way, I'm picking option C and hoping the examiners have a good sense of humor.

Whoa, this is like a trick question or something. I'm just gonna go with option B and hope for the best. If I'm wrong, maybe I can bribe the examiner with some homemade cookies.

Ah, I remember this type of question from my last exam. The key is to look at the discriminant and figure out the relationship between the roots. I'm going to go with option C, it just feels right.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The equation is a little tricky, but I think option D might be the correct answer. Let me double-check the work.

Okay, this looks like a tough one. Let me think this through... The equation has a parabolic shape, so there should be two real roots. But which one is positive and which one is negative? I'm going to go with option C, it seems the most logical.

The equation states that r1 is positive and r1 = -0.5r2, so option C makes sense.
