Answer:
second and fourth option
Step-by-step explanation:
the <em>discriminant </em>of a quadratic equation is the easiest way to know how many solutions there will be
(discriminant: b²- 4ac)
{a discriminant of 0 means 1 solution; discriminant < 0 means no real roots, discriminant > 0 means two real roots }
so, we can quickly run b² - 4ac for each equation provided:
(note: ax² + bx + c is the formatting we use to find a, b, and c)
8² - 4(-9)(-8)
64 - 288 = -224
4² - (4)(1)(4)
16 - 16 = 0
-1² - (4)(-10)(-9)
-1 - 360 = -361
-6² - (4)(3)(3)
36 - 36 = 0
So, because the second and fourth options listed have a discriminant of 0, they have 1 real solution
hope this helps!! have a lovely day :)
