What is the value of the discriminant?
Which one of the statements below is correct?
a. The equation has two real solutions.
b. The equation has one real solution.
c. the equation has two imaginary solutions. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! -8x^2-9x+19=0
---
a = -8 ; b = -9 ; c = 19
------
What is the value of the discriminant?
b^2-4ac = 81 - 4*-8*19 > 0
-------
Which one of the statements below is correct?
Since the discriminant is positive, "a" is correct.
