Step-by-step explanation:
You should use a ^ to indicate an exponent. x^2 is the same as x².
x² + 9x + 20
Replace the x with (-5).
(-5)² + 9(-5) + 20 = 25-45+20 = 0
Then do the same with x = (-3):
(-3)² + 9(-3) + 20 = 9 - 27 + 20 = 2
You can do x = (-6)
Answer: There are no real number roots (the two roots are complex or imaginary)
The discriminant D = b^2 - 4ac tells us the nature of the roots for any quadratic in the form ax^2+bx+c = 0
There are three cases
- If D < 0, then there are no real number roots and the roots are complex numbers.
- If D = 0, then we have one real number root. The root is repeated twice so it's considered a double root. This root is rational if a,b,c are rational.
- If D > 0, then we get two different real number roots. Each root is rational if D is a perfect square and a,b,c are rational.
