Quincy uses the quadratic formula to solve for the values of x in a quadratic equation. he finds the solution, in simplest radical form, to be x = . which best describes how many real number solutions the equation has? zero, because the discriminant is negative. zero, because the discriminant is not a perfect square. one, because the negative and the minus cancel each other out. two, because of the Β± symbol.

Respuesta :

A quadratic equation in the form of

Β a xΒ² + b x + c=0, has

Discriminant = D= bΒ²- 4 ac

x = [tex]\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{D}}{2a}[/tex]

Now coming to roots of a quadratic equation

1. Dβ‰₯0, both the roots are real i.e both of them may be rational or both of them may be rational.

2. D=0, both the roots are real and equal.

3. D< 0, both the roots are imaginary.

So, out of following options given,

Option A, is not true,

zero, because the discriminant is negative.(It is a true statement if you are talking about real roots but if we consider imaginary roots also then this statement becomes false.) .In the question it is given that Β that roots are in radical form that's why this option is incorrect.

. Option B is not true because if Discriminant is not a perfect square then also the quadratic function has two real either rational or irrational roots.

Third option is completely false , it is incorrect statement.[one, because the negative and the minus cancel each other]

Fourth option is true because , in the answer it has been written that the roots are in simplest radical form , The value of D should always be greater than zero,then we look at Β± symbol .Then there are two possible real roots.

The value of D should always be greater than zero, then we look at the Β± symbol. Then there are two possible real roots.

What is the quadratic equation?

The equation which has the highest power or degree is 2 called the quadratic equation.

The general form of the quadratic equation is given by;

[tex]\rm ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]

Where; a, b, and c are the constants and a can not be zero.

The discrimination for the quadratic equation is given by;

[tex]\rm Discriminate = b^2-4ac[/tex]

  • When Dβ‰₯0, both the roots are real i.e both of them may be rational or both of them may be rational.

  • When D =0, both the roots are real and equal.

  • When D< 0, both the roots are imaginary.

Hence, the value of D should always be greater than zero, then we look at the Β± symbol. Then there are two possible real roots.
