OpenStudy (mertsj):

Did you calculate the discriminate?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

discriminant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no I don't know how

OpenStudy (mertsj):

your equation is in the form: \[ax^2+bx+c=0\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Identify the values of a, b., and c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I understand....so far

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What is a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I calculated the discriminate as being 40

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yes. That is correct.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So since that is a positive number there will be 2 real roots.
