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? /:)

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
