->, , and
if the discriminant , the equation has two distinct real roots







so, we can try which is less than




if the discriminant, the equation has two equal real roots









if the discriminant , there are no real solutions







if ->

Use quadratic formula




----------------


-------------------------------------------
(a)
2 equal real roots
must be zero.



The 2 equal real roots are:

----------------------
(b)
2 distinct real roots
must be positive
I'll say


The roots are:


------------------------
No real roots
must be negative
I'll say


The roots are:
