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.

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.
