Choose the best description of the roots of the equation 2x^2-5x+3=0. double root real and rational roots real and irrational roots imaginary roots
help please
try finding the value of \[b^2 - 4ac\]
calculate the D which is = \[\sqrt{b ^{2}-4*a*c}\]
@pulkit21384 no need for the square root
i dont get it
yeah i know, but value of discremenent is square root of b²-4ac
@jalinnn the equation you have is of the form ax² + bx + c=0
as you can see by comparing your equation with the general form as i have mentioned and you can get value of a=2 b=-5 c=3
now put these values of a,b and c in the formula for d
25=4(2*3)?
if you mean 25-4*2*3 =1, than its ok
now take the square root of this value which is 1
now our conditions are D can be greater than 0 D can be smaller than 0 D can be equal to zero
so its real and rational
if D > 0 the roots are real and they are rational if sqare root of b² -4ac is ratioonal otherwise irrational if D<0 the roots are not real they are imaginary roots if D=0 the roots are equal
yes you are right
