state the value of the discriminant and then the nature of the solutions -7x^2+2x-15=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D=424 they are real and distinct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

two

OpenStudy (sriram):

discriminant=424 they are rel and distinct roots

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Discriminant \[D = b ^{2} - 4ac\]

OpenStudy (sriram):

roots are-23/14 and 19/14

OpenStudy (id21):

Your equation is in form \[ax^2+bx+c=0\] This is your equation \[-7x^2+2x-15=0\] where a=-7, b=2, c=-15 Find discriminant with this formula: \[D=b^2-4ac=2^2-4(-7)(-15)=4-420=-416\] There is no roots. Parabola don't cross the x axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

disagree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops sorry. i agree with id21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@id21 u r wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually id21 is right

OpenStudy (sriram):

pellet everybody added id in d race !!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is a mistake in the question

OpenStudy (id21):

:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question is right there is no mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it -7 or 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many solutions and are they real or imaginary

OpenStudy (id21):

There are no real solutions. Can find only imaginary.
