Compute the value of the discriminant and give the number of real solutions of the quadratic equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3x^2+x-1=0

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

for a quadratic:\[ax^2+bx+c=0\] the discriminate is: \(b^2-4ac\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The discriminant of a quadratic is \[b^{2}-4ac\] Here, a is -3, b is 1, and c is -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got -11 for discriminant and 0 for real solution. Is that correct?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

If the discriminant is zero: there is one solution (or two equal solutions) if the discriminant is positive: there are two real solutions. if the discriminant is negative: there are no real solutions (two complex solutions )

okay thankyou
