Question

Describe the roots of the equation shown below.
3x^2 + 4x + 2 = 0

can somebody describe the process for finding this?

Answer 1

factor it. When you find where x is 0, then those are the roots.

Answer 2

Use the quadratic formula and you can factor it that way. Your roots are nonreal complex, I believe, at least one of them is.

Answer 3

4²-4(3)(2) → 16-24 → -8

There are imaginary roots

Answer 4

The discriminant is negative.

Answer 5

what are irrational, complex, rational, and double roots?

Answer 6

A. There are two complex roots.
B. There are two real, irrational roots.
C. There are two real, rational roots.
D. There is one real, double root.

Answer 7

It's A. There are two complex roots. They are\[\frac{ -2\pm i \sqrt{2} }{ 3}\]

Answer 8

Do you know what irrational and rational roots are as opposed to complex?

Answer 9

not really... I'm self teaching all this to myself

Answer 10

I will start from that there is a symbol for `√-1` and it is ` i `
In other words ` i = √ -1`

it is imaginary, because it is a made number, so that you can write √-25 as
5i,

because √-25 = √(25 × {-1} ) = √(5² × {-1} ) =5√-1 = 5i

are you more or less comfortable with what I am saying ?

Answer 11

you can basically factor out of -1 inside the root, and call √-1 → " i " .
