Answer: Oops its the 3rd answer, my explanation is wrong but the first paragraph has some decent info
Step-by-step explanation:
I could just give you the answer but I want you to intuitively understand it. W is the variable you are looking for, right. So anything shaded on those number lines is going to indicate the value of w. The answer is that w < -6.1
Negative numbers are a little bit tricky when using less and greater than. But basically, less than means closer to 0 and greater than means farther from zero. So this means that w is every single number less than -6.1, or closer to zero and then continuing on in the postive direction.
Now for the little circle on the -6.1:
A circle that is not shaded in means that this value is NOT included. And we can see that the sign is <, not . So we are going to have an open circle from -6.1 that is going closer to zero and beyond. The first answer fits that criteria perfectly

Answer:
2 real solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember this messy thing?
The <em>quadratic formula</em>, as it's called, gives us the roots to any quadratic equation in standard form (ax² + bx + c = 0). The information on the <em>type</em> of roots is contained entirely in that bit under the square root symbol (b² - 4ac), called the <em>discriminant</em>. If it's non-negative, we'll have <em>real</em> roots, if it's negative, we'll have <em>complex roots</em>.
For our equation, we have a discrimant of (-3)² - 4(6)(-4) = 9 + 96 = 105, which is non-negative, so we'll have real solutions, and since quadratics are degree 2, we'll have exactly 2 real solutions.
