Question 499477: For the following equation, state the value of the discriminate and then describe the nature of the solutions. -19x^2+8x+8=0
What is the value of the discriminant?
Which one of the statements below is correct?
A-The equation has two imaginary solutions.
B-The equation has two real solutions.
C-The equation has one real solution.

The discriminant is what is under the square root sign of the quadratic equation: if the discriminant is positive, then there are 2 real solutions, if it is 0, then there is 1 real solution, and if it is negative, then it has 2 imaginary solutions.
Let me know if this helps.
