How many and of what type are the solutions to x^2 + 7x + 10 = 0?
well of course since the degree i.e. the highest power of the equation is 2, i.e. in x^2 , it has 2 solutions. Now do you know how to find b^2-4ac?
ummm no @luckythebest
Ok there is a small concept then. So you know that any quadratic equation can be written in the form of ax^2+bx+c = 0 ?
yea
yep. so if 1x^2 + 7x + 10 = ax^2 + bx + c, a = 1, b = 7, c = 10. It is observed that finding b^2-4ac can help us to find the nature of the solutions of this equation. So if you can find b^2-4ac ?
yes
yep so how much does it come to
-5, -2
and 0
lol those are the solutions. :P
anyway; -5, -2 are unequal, rational, and real. = nature of solution
so its Two different rational solutions?
@luckythebest
@allie_bear22 you got that right.
