b^2-4ac>-1 means the roots are real? true or false

hartnn (hartnn):

that \(b^2-4ac\) is called the discriminant of a quadratic expression. for the roots to be real numbers, discriminant must be positive!

hartnn (hartnn):

is b^2-4ac positive ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im guessing so

hartnn (hartnn):

b^2-4ac>-1 means x can also be = -0.5 for which the roots will NOT be real!
