Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image you uploaded is related to the discriminant in a quadratic equation of the form . The discriminant is given by .
Here is how the discriminant affects the number of real solutions:
- If : The quadratic equation has 2 real solutions (distinct real roots).
- If : The quadratic equation has 1 real solution (a repeated real root).
- If : The quadratic equation has no real solutions (complex/imaginary roots).
Now, let's match the rows to the correct categories:
- → 2 Solutions (because the discriminant is positive, indicating two distinct real solutions).
- → 1 Solution (because the discriminant is zero, indicating one repeated real solution).
- → No Real Solutions (because the discriminant is negative, indicating complex solutions).
Correct answers:
- → 2 Solutions
- → 1 Solution
- → No Real Solutions
Do you need further clarification or have any questions on the discriminant? Here's a tip for your learning:
Tip: Remember that the discriminant determines the type of roots a quadratic equation has. Positive means two real roots, zero means one real root, and negative means no real roots!
