Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 3
b = 3
c = 1
Discriminate = sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)
Discriminate = sqrt(9 - 4*3*1)
Discriminate = sqrt(9 - 12)
Discriminate = sqrt(-3)
What negative value means that there are no real roots and the y intercept = 1. You should always graph this kind of question, which I am doing for you. I use Desmos which is a very handy program.
You should notice that the minimum is above the x axis. That means there are no real roots, just as the discriminate tells you.
