What do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its A

Miracrown (miracrown):

Nope. Have another attempt

Miracrown (miracrown):

It should be 2 real solutions. discriminant >0, the equation has two real solutions. That is a rule you need to memorize.

Miracrown (miracrown):

Discriminant=0, it has one real solution. Discriminant<0, two complex solutions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So any number other that 0 has 2 real solutions?

Miracrown (miracrown):

<0, two complex solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay
