the one that is called the "discriminant" will tell you.... see if you can google that...

das da one ^^^^

anonymous · Answer

Use the given equation and plug it into the discriminant and your answer will tell you if you can factor or not.

anonymous · Answer

I dont understand how to get the answer though.

anonymous · Answer

The discriminant is b^2-4ac. Therefore, using the given equation..2x^2 +7x +3=0 You plug in the a, b, c. 
a=2
b=7
c=3
(7)^2  -  4(2)(3)= 49-48=1
