Question 36146: Thanks so much!!! I need help solving this.
use the discriminant to determine the number of solutions of the quadratic equation, and whether the solutions are real or complex. Note: It is not necessary to find the roots; just determine the number and types of solutions.
2x^2 - 10x + 25 = 0

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Discriminant;
b%5E2-4ac
10%5E2-4%282%29%2825%29
100-200=-100
Since the discriminate is negative, there are no real roots. There are no x-intercepts, no solutions
