Question

If the "discriminant" of a quadratic equation is -25, then the equation has _________________ solution(s).

Answer 1

no real solutions

The conditions for the discriminant are

• If b² - 4ac > 0 then 2 real and distinct roots

• If b² - 4ac = 0 then 2 real and equal roots

• If b² - 4ac < 0 then no real solutions
