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?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
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 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea
OpenStudy (anonymous):
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
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yep so how much does it come to
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-5, -2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol those are the solutions. :P

anyway; -5, -2 are unequal, rational, and real. = nature of solution
