Does it show what he did for each step??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm gonna say he went wrong in step 2 or 4

I'm not quite sure but i think that's right, almost positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How can you tell when a quadratic equation has no real solutions? (1 point) When the radicand is negative When b in the quadratic formula is greater than the radicand When the radicand equals zero When the radicand is not a perfect square

give me a minute this is hard stuff 0.0

A First one

When the radicand is negative then you know the equation has no real solutions. This is because you CAN'T find the square root of a negative number. If the radicand is a perfect square it will have 2 rational solutions (rational because they terminate) If it is NOT a perfect square it will have 2 irrational solutions(irrational because they do NOT terminate) Lastly, if the radicand is zero, then ther is only one solution...zero. I hope this is helpful!
