help please
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
try finding the value of \[b^2 - 4ac\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
calculate the D which is = \[\sqrt{b ^{2}-4*a*c}\]
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
@pulkit21384 no need for the square root
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont get it

yeah i know, but value of discremenent is square root of b²-4ac
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@jalinnn the equation you have is of the form ax² + bx + c=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
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
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now put these values of a,b and c in the formula for d
OpenStudy (anonymous):
25=4(2*3)?

if you mean 25-4*2*3 =1, than its ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now take the square root of this value which is 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now our conditions are
D can be greater than 0
D can be smaller than 0
D can be equal to zero
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its real and rational
OpenStudy (anonymous):
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
