Question 336660: My question is in regards to an equation in my homework. x^2 + 18x + 58 = 0
I was to use the discriminant to assess the number of solutions and if they are rational, irrational or imaginary.
I came up with: a= 1, b=18. c= 58 (18)^2 - 4(1)(58))
simplified to 324 - 232 = 92
Since 92 is not a perfect square my answer would be 2 different irrational solutions. Is this correct and if not please explain further. Thank-you
