Describe the nature of the roots for this equation. 2x^2 - x + 1 = 0

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: use the discriminant formula D = b^2 - 4ac

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be -1^2 -4(2)(1)? which comes out as -9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and since it's negative and not zero it would be two complex solutions?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

very good, you nailed it

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

nice job
