given the trinomial 2x^2 + 4x + 4 predict the type of solutions
@Becki Hey !!
imaginary numbers
It says 2 rational numbers, 1 national number 2 irrational and 1 irrational
@aaronq @gorica @jim_thompson5910
Hm. Well, it can't factor, so you have to use the quadratic formula. Doing this gives you sqrt (-1) both answers, so I'm not sure what your answer would be. The i isn't rational or irrational...
oh one of the anwers is 2 complex solutions
@Sephora
Its your homework right
you expect us to do it for you by saying predict the solution
Yea.but I want to understand it so I can do the rest!
you wont understand it if a you and a person do it step by step>DUH!
Naww really? @Sephora
@AmTran_Bus
YEAHHH...now find someone that is willing to help you step by step hun.
Goodbye :)
Cause you know im right
Naw
Correct Word: No. You might as well go to the English section for some help.
Naw.
@iNeedSeriousHelp
@mightBEyourTEACHER I just help. not anwers

@crystelle Find the discriminant of the quadratic equation. See attachment.
The discriminant will tell what to expect in terms of the nature of the roots. But, find it first.
hey i don't know if you are done with this question, but any time you have a square like x^2, there will always be 2 possible solutions. using the quadratic equation |dw:1381354137404:dw| when the stuff under the square root (stuff actually being call the discriminate) then the following can be determined for the types of answers, or in other words the types of roots if b^2 - 4ac > 0 then the roots (answers) are real numbers and not equal to each other b^2 - 4ac = 0 then the roots (answers) are real numbers and equal to each other b^2 - 4ac < 0 then the roots (answers) are complex numbers and not equal to each other
