What is true about the solutions of a quadratic equation when the radicand in the quadratic formula is negative? No real solutions Two identical rational solutions Two different rational solutions Two irrational solutions

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

Hint!!! \[b^2 - 4ac > 0 \longleftarrow \text{2 real solutions}\] \[b^2 - 4ac = 0 \longleftarrow \text{1 real solution}\] \[b^2 - 4ac < 0 \longleftarrow \text{no real solution}\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

which do you think answers your question? :)

OpenStudy (ashking1):

two different rational solutions

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

when something is > 0 that means that something is positive when it's = 0 that means it's 0 when it's < 0 that means it's negative

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

again...which answers your question? /:)

OpenStudy (ashking1):

Two irrational solutions

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

look at the question again...it's asking what if \(b^2 - 4ac\) is negative...which of the ones did i write represent the negative?

OpenStudy (ashking1):

b2−4ac<0

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

and what did i write about that?

OpenStudy (ashking1):

no real solution

OpenStudy (ashking1):

thks
