you have to check this discriminant of the equation. general formula is ax^2+bx+c and discriminant is ((b^2)-4*a*c) if this value is smaller than 0 it mean there is no real root of this parabola. b is 2, a is 1/2, c is 3. So 2^2-4*(1/2)*3 equals to -2 which means there is no real root. if you want to find the imaginary roots you have to use the quadratic equation

so i have to use the quadratic formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think i know how to put it into quadratic formula but then i dont know how to simplify it after

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i found -2+i*2^(1/2) and -2-i*2^(1/2) from the quadratic equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those are the solutions? how did u get those?
