A quadratic equation of the form 0 ax2 bx c


Asked by maham237 @ in Mathematics viewed by 450 People


has a discriminant value of –16. How many real number solutions does the equation have?

Answered by maham237 @



The discriminant of a quadratic is given as b^2 - 4ac, so we know that b^2 - 4ac = -16.

When using the quadratic formula to calculate values for x, we have to take the root of the discriminant. There is no real answer to the root of a negative number and so the equation has no real roots.
