Algebra question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To open these doors, you must match the number and type of solutions for the following two functions in standard form. f(x) = x2 + 6x – 16 g(x) = x2 +6x + 1 Match the following descriptions of the solutions to each of the functions above. Hint: they each have their own match. Two real irrationals solutions Two real rationals solutions

@ganeshie8 can you check this out please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Am I supposed to figure out the solutions or just match which one is rational and which one is irrational? If so I already know 1 but not sure how to do 2

by the way all those diamond things are just one " - "

OpenStudy (imstuck):

You have to factor them to see what their solutions are.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

That's how you find solutions to equations...by factoring them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2 + 6x + 16 = 0 (x - 2)(x + 8) = 0 This is a rational equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats for 1 but dont know how to do 2

OpenStudy (imstuck):

ok, the first one is right. Let's do the second one, then.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
