For (a), your discriminant will be positive

#

since this graph has a minimum value, a is negative but since its y-intercept is positive, c is positive

#

b² is always positive so b²-4ac is also positive

#

the negative value in a cancels out the negative sign before 4ac

#

Oh and for (b), it doesnt matter whether b is positive or negative

#

since b² is always positive

#

And since the graph clearly cuts the x-axis at two distinct points, both roots of this equation are real

#

hence d must be positive

#

Hope that helped
