How many and of what type are the solutions of a quadratic equation when the value of the radicand is 17?  (3 points)

No real solutions
Two identical rational solutions
Two different rational solutions
Two irrational solutions

campbell_st · Answer

identical rational solutions occur is the radicand = 0

different rational solutions occur when the radicand is a square number, e.g. 4, 25, 100

really just leave 1 option.
