If r 1 r_1 r 1 and r 2 r_2 r 2 are the distinct real roots of x 2 + p x + 8 = 0 x^2+px+8=0 x 2 + p x + 8 = 0 , then it must follow that:
(A) ∣ r 1 + r 2 ∣ > 4 2 (B) ∣ r 1 ∣ > 3 or ∣ r 2 ∣ > 3 (C) ∣ r 1 ∣ > 2 and ∣ r 2 ∣ > 2 (D) r 1 < 0 and r 2 < 0 (E) ∣ r 1 + r 2 ∣ < 4 2 \textbf{(A)}\ |r_1+r_2|>4\sqrt{2} \textbf{(B)}\ |r_1|>3 \text{or} |r_2| >3 \\ \textbf{(C)}\ |r_1|>2 \text{and} |r_2|>2 \textbf{(D)}\ r_1<0 \text{and} r_2<0 \textbf{(E)}\ |r_1+r_2|<4\sqrt{2} (A) ∣ r 1 + r 2 ∣ > 4 2 (B) ∣ r 1 ∣ > 3 or ∣ r 2 ∣ > 3 (C) ∣ r 1 ∣ > 2 and ∣ r 2 ∣ > 2 (D) r 1 < 0 and r 2 < 0 (E) ∣ r 1 + r 2 ∣ < 4 2
