What is true about the solutions of a quadratic equation when the radicand of the quadratic formula is a positive number that is not a perfect square? No real solutions Two identical rational solutions Two different rational solutions Two irrational solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c option

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

if the radicand is NOT a perfect square then the square root of that will be rational or irrational?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

say something @simplybeyoutiful

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

it is irrational!

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

i think this gives u your answer

OpenStudy (shane_b):

In that case it's going to have 2 irrational solutions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (shane_b):

Here's a cheat sheet: Radicand is negative - 2 complex solutions involving i. Radicand is zero - 1 real, rational zero. Called a double or repeated root. Radicand is positive and a perfect square - 2 real, rational zeros. Radicand is positive but not a perfect square - 2 real, irrational zeros

oh okay thank you
