Answer:
No <em>real</em> solutions (or has two complex roots)
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminant, <em>b</em>² - 4<em>ac</em>, is the expression (<u><em>radicand </em></u>) of the quadratic equation:
.
The value of the discriminant determines the <u>nature</u> and the <u>number of solutions</u> given by the quadratic equation.
A discriminant with a negative value (or b² - 4ac < 0 ) means that the quadratic equation has no real solutions or two complex solutions. Quadratic equations with a negative discriminant also have no x-intercepts; thus, its graph will not cross the x-axis.
