Find the discriminant of the quadratic equation x2 + 10x + 24 = 0 and use it to determine the number and types of solutions.

b2 − 4ac

196; Two real solutions
196; One real solution
4; Two real solutions
4; Two nonreal solutions

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is 4; two real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

after solving the question using the formula b^2-4ac I've gotten 4>0 if the formula b^2-4ac>0 then there would be 2 real solutions, the parabola crosses the x-axis twice. hope this helps, please tell me if I​ was right. :)

Since the discriminant is greater than zero, hence the number and types of solutions that will result are two real solutions

How to determine the discriminant of a function

The discriminants are used to determine the nature of the solutions of quadratic equations.

Given the equation

x^2 + 10x + 24 = 0

Find the discriminant

D = b^2  - 4ac
D = 10^2 - 4(1)(24)
D = 100 - 94
D = 4 >0

Since the discriminant is greater than zero, hence the number and types of solutions that will result are two real solutions
