Question 499392: In questions 6-10, use the discriminant to determine the number of solutions of the quadratic equation, and whether the solutions are real or complex. Note: It is not necessary to find the roots; just determine the number and types of solutions
4/3x^2 -2x + 3/4 = 0
This is the one that has me going in circles please help.

From we can see that , , and


Start with the discriminant formula.


Plug in , , and


Square to get


Multiply to get


Subtract from to get


So the discriminant is


Since the discriminant is equal to zero, this means that there is one real solution.
