it is in standard form already.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
b^2-4 a c
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well my question says find the discriminant and describe the number and type of roots
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5^2-(4 * 3 * 6)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-47 so it has 2 imaginary roots

ohk thnks :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
are u sure its not 2 complex roots?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
complex roots yes same thing i mean
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wat about x2 + 5x + 6 = 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it is standard form also
so
b^2-4 a c
5^2-(4*6)

which is 1 so it has 2 real roots :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thnk u sooooo very much!!!!!!!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i actually have 3 more if u dnt mind helping
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats if u dnt mind
OpenStudy (anonymous):
remember the rulse is use
b^2-4 a c
if result=r r for result
r>0 it has 2 real roots
if r=0 then it has 1 root
if r<0 then it has 2 imiginary aka complex roots.

x2 + 5x + 6 = 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
brb
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohk :(
OpenStudy (anonymous):
one more
here are your formulas
ax^2+bx+c=0
b^2-4 a c
youare given
x2 + 5x + 6 = 0
a b c
so plug that into
b^2-4 a c
5^2-4*1*6=1
so it has 2 real roots
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it has 2 rational roots but wat is the number because it is not 1

what do you mean?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im dumb at math so excuse me lol but wat does D=?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
D=1 in the very last one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im sorry lol i gave u the wrong problem!!! lol i meant to put x2 - 8x +16 = 0... soo sorry!

i was thinking that :P
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i told u i was sloww lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x2 - 8x +16 = 0
a b c
b^2-4 a c
8^2-4*16=0
so it has one real root
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and D=0 rite?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
rite!
