To identify the type and number of solutions to a quadratic equation, find its discriminant, which is given by the formula \[D = b^2 - 4ac\]for this equation\[D=1^2-4(4)(-1)=1+16=17\]When D is equal to a positive real number which is not a perfect square, as it is in this case, there are two real and irrational solutions to the quadratic equation. So 2 is the answer

thank you very much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

glad to help :)

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Close. Try again ?

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

ohhh

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes its right :)

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

thanks

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

one more please?

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not A; did you calculate the discrimimant first because this question requires it

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

o wait ill do it

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

ok so -167

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it's negative; negative discriminant implies that the solutions are complex

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right!
