Hey there!
The formula for the discriminant is represented by b²-4ac.
We need to identify the values for a, b, and c.
This equation is in general form, which is ax² + bx + c = 0.
So, a = -2, b = -1, and c = -1.
Plug the values into the formula.
(-1)²-4(-2)(-1)
Square.
1-4(-2)(-1)
Multiply.
1-4(2)
1-8
Subtract.
-7
The discriminant is -7.
This means there are no real solutions to the equation, because the discriminant is negative.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
A is the answer
Explanation:
A monarchy is passed down by rulers. So, they can have absolute power and can be a king or queen. Leaders aren't elected they are born into the government.
They gave more control to the States than the actual Federal Government.
This was intentional due to the colonists not wanting a strong central
government and cause a repeat of England's rule. This proved to be
inadequate because the federal government was unable to regulate taxes
or even gather an army to help with disputes. These flaws in the
Articles were shown with Shay's Rebellion as the Continental Army
(federal government's army) was slow to organize and confront the
problem. They did not give congress and national government enough power. It also did not give congress the power to tax, which caused the government to print more money, and lead to inflation. Another valid reason why the Articles of Confederation was inadequate, it did not give congress to the power to draft troops.
