Both a and b must be positive. If a or b is negative, the square root of it is not a real number. a perfect square. a nonnegative real number. a positive integer
hmm and b MUST be positive. it can NOT be negative. does that give you any ideas?
it's in the words already
a nonenegative real number ? :)
Any nonnegative real number?
What is the question asking?
yes @tafara27 you are right ^_^
If a or b is negative, the square root of it is not a real number.
o cool thanks lgbasallote
welcome :)
Suppose a, b, and c in a quadratic equation are rational numbers. Then it is possible that one solution of the equation is rational and the other one is irrational. True False
What's a rational #?
rational number means you can express it as a quotient of two integers @LordVictorius
Oh, okay, thanks.
I think it's true.
here's a hint for you @tafara27 if b^2 - 4ac > 0 then there are TWO rational solution if b^2 - 4ac= 0 then there is ONE rational solution (but repeated) if b^2 - 4ac <0 then tehre are TWO irrational solutions does that help?
false
l am true my bad was looking at the wrong problem
