The discriminant explains how many solutions the quadratic function has. It is found using this formula:

Using the formula, there are three rules. Let's say the discriminant=d:
d<0 - No solution ø
d=0 -ONLY 1 solution
d>0 -2 solutions
In the following graph, there are no solutions as the graph does not hit the x-axis at any point.
Thereafter, the discriminant MUST be less than zero. Let's view the options check which one agrees with our answer.
A - Discriminant is greater than 0, which means two solutions. This is WRONG.
B - Discriminant is less than 0, which means no solutions. CORRECT!C- Discriminant is equal to 0, which means one solution. WRONG!
Your answer is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
mean = sum of all data points / number of data points
(22+16+18+14+16+34+20)/7 = 140/7 = 20
median is the number, where half of the data points are smaller, and the other half are larger.
first we need to sort the data points
14, 16, 16, 18, 20, 22, 34
median = 18
mode is the data point occurring most often.
mode = 16 (occurring 2 times, while the others occur only once).
range is the difference between the largest and the smallest data point.
range = 34 - 14 = 20
