OpenStudy (campbell_st):

its not D you need the discriminant\[\Delta = b^2 - 4ac\] in the quadratic a = 6, b = -7 and c = -4 substitute them and calculate the value of the discriminant the conditions are \[\Delta = 0, ~ two~ real~ solutions, \] \[\Delta = 0, ~ one ~repeated ~real ~solution\] \[\Delta < 0,~ 2 ~imaginary~solutions\] so calculate and check... hope it helps

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

B @campbell_st

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

I don't think its B \[\Delta = (-7)^2 - 4 \times 6 \times (-4)\]

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

my answer was x=47 @campbell_st

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well I think you need to check your calculation... do it the way I've written it... but if you got 47... is that > 0? or < 0? or = 0?

compare ur eqn with general form i.e. \[ax^2+bx+c=0\]. now find discriminat i.e. \[b^2-4ac\]. if D>0, sol. are real and distinct if D=0, two equal real roots. if D<0, two imaginry root.

OpenStudy (cp9454):

here a=6, b=-7, c= -4. find D
