OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Do you know the Disc?

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

discriminant*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, that was the entire question.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

The question is right.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Discriminant is used to find the Solutions for a curve. \[b^2-4ac\] This is the Formula for that.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Try solving. otherwise i will help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3^2-4(5)(1) so the disc. is -11?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, how do I use that to find the number of real solutions of the equation?
