Use the discriminant to determine the number and type of solutions the equation has.

1 answer:

4 0

Discriminant = square root (b^2 -4*a*c)
square root (64 -4*1*12) =
square root (16) =
4
Therefore it has 2 rational soltions

Softa [21]

Answer:

There are no true solutions to the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct equation is

$y+1=\sqrt{-2y-3}$

Solve for y

squared both sides

$(y+1)^2=(-2y-3)$

$(y^2+2y+1)=(-2y-3)$

$y^2+2y+1+2y+3=0$

$y^2+4y+4=0$

$(y+2)(y+2)=0$

$y=-2$

Verify

substitute the value of y in the original expression

$-2+1=\sqrt{-2(-2)-3}$

$-1=1$ ----> is not true

therefore

There are no true solutions to the equation.
