Question

state the value of the discriminant and describe the nature of the solutions 14^2+2x+8=0

Answer 1

D=b^2-4ac



D=(2)^2-4(14)(8)



D=4-4(14)(8)



D=4-448



D=-444


Since the discriminant is less than zero, this means that there are two complex solutions.



In other words, there are no real solutions.

Answer 2

so it would be -444 and the solutions would be imaginary?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

thank you
