For the following equation, state the value of the discriminant and then describe the nature of the solutions.
16x^2-7x+4=0
What is the value of the discriminant b^2-4ac
= 7^2-4*16*4 = -207
-----------------------------------
Which one of the statements below is correct?
a. The equation has two imaginary solutions because
the discriminant is negative.
