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

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hmm and b MUST be positive. it can NOT be negative. does that give you any ideas?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

it's in the words already

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a nonenegative real number ? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any nonnegative real number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the question asking?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yes @tafara27 you are right ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If a or b is negative, the square root of it is not a real number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o cool thanks lgbasallote

OpenStudy (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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's a rational #?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

rational number means you can express it as a quotient of two integers @LordVictorius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, okay, thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's true.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

false

OpenStudy (anonymous):

l am true my bad was looking at the wrong problem
