Question

Please help! Using the discriminant, does the equation 3x^2+2x=-6 have 2 distinct real solutions, a single solution, or no real solution? Why? EXPLAIN answer making reference to the discriminant. THANKS :)

Answer 1

My answer is there are no real solutions because the discriminant is less than 0

Answer 2

well the discriminant of this would be found by using b^2 - 4ac .
2^2 - 4(3)(6)
4 - 72

discriminant = -68
so if the discriminant is negative and b^2 - 4ac < 0 then itmeans the equation has to x intercepts, therefore no real solutions.
so you're correct x

Answer 3

sorry *no x intercepts
