Question 36397: m^2 + m + 1 = 0
I cannot figure this one out :( Please...I need to 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.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
m^2 + m + 1 = 0
a=1, b=1, c=1
Discriminant = b^2-4ac = 1-4=-3
Since it is negative the function has two complex zeroes.
