Question 359573: For the following equation, state the value of the discriminant and then describe the nature of the solutions.

+10x%5E2-3x%2B2=0+

1) What is the value of the discriminant ??
2) Does the equation have two real solutions,two imaginary solutions, or one real solution???
please help me, i have been stuck on this one for days. If someone could show me what the answer is supposed to be i would appreciate it greatly. Thank you

+10x%5E2-3x%2B2=0+
.
.

D=b%5E2-4ac
.
.
.
b=-3
a=10
c=2
.
.

D=%28-3%29%5E2-4%2810%29%282%29

If D%3E0, you have two real roots.
If D=0, you have one real root.
If D%3C0, you have two complex roots.
