Question

Use the discriminant to determine the number of real solutions to the equation, 10n^2 = 10 - 8n

Answer 1

Answer:

2 real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Get all the terms to one side

10n^2 = 10 - 8n

10n^2 +8n -10 =0

ax^2 +bx+c =0

The discriminant is

b^2 -4ac

8^2 - 4(10)(-10)

64 +400

464

If the discriminant is greater than 0 we have 2 real solutions
