Find the discriminant and give the number of real solutions.
2x^2-x+5=0
---------------
good idea.
It's in the form:
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
a = 2
b = -1
c = 5
---
Disc = b^2 - 4ac
--------
If Disc < 0 --> 2 complex solutions.
If Disc = 0 --> 2 real equal solutions.
If Disc > 0 --> 2 different real solutions.
------------
There are ALWAYS 2 solutions.
