alexgriva [62]

Answer:

x = - 3 or x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the quadratic equation by factorizasion

x² + x - 6 = 0
x² - 2x + 3x - 6 = 0
x(x - 2) + 3(x - 2) = 0
(x + 3)(x - 2) = 0
x + 3 = 0 or x - 2 = 0

Use the discriminant to determine the number of real solutions to the quadratic equation.

Naily [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use discramnt formula

$b {}^{2} - 4ac$

Where 6 is a, 11 is b and 9 is c

$11 {}^{2} - 4(6)(9)$

$121 - 216 = - 95$

Since the discramnt is negative, there are no real solutions and it will only produce imaginary solutions
