Question 478942: 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.
z^2 + z + 1 = 0 Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the discriminant, D = b^2 - 4ac
a = b = c = 1
-------------
If D > 0, 2 real solutions
If D < 0, 2 complex solutions.
If d = 0, 1 real solution of multiplicity 2 (2 real solutions that are equal)
