, NOW try it. Look for how many roots for . They will either both be real or both be complex. Use the discriminant to find out.

What is the sign of ?
The equation either will have two real roots or it will have no real roots, and you can know this from the discriminant.

Recheck in the original equation, as the other tutor indicates. The equation will be undefined at x=1 because that independant input value creates division by zero.
