<span>Given that your favorite soccer team has 3 games left to finish the season and that the
outcome of each game can be win, lose, or tie.
The number of possible
outcomes that exist is given by

Consider expression
First, you can factor it:

Since x is integer number, then you can see that x-1 is previous integer number (x-1 is 1 unit smaller than x).
Therefore, x-1 and x are two consecutive integers. When you have two consecutive integers, one of them is always even and one is always odd. Multiplying even integer number by odd integer number you always get even integer number.
Thus,
is always even.
The discriminant is

which is 0.
Since the discriminant is 0, there is only one real solution.
