Determine the number of solutions and classify the type of solutions for each of the following equations. Justify the answers.
a. x^2 + 3x - 15 = 0
This is well covered by the onsite solver. Read the info about the discriminant.
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:



For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

Discriminant d=69 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 2.65331193145904, -5.65331193145904. Here's your graph:
