Answer 6

you sure its right?

Answer 7

I would think of that incorrect....since this is already in its perfect square form we would find two factors that would multiply to equal 12...

\(\Huge{-6 \times -2 = 12}\)

So x would be able to equal -6 and -2.

Answer 8

so than what is it?

Answer 9

I would guess it as A since -6 and -2 are not irrational numbers since irrational number are numbers without a repeating pattern.

Answer 10

You can use the discriminant formula, \[\sqrt{-4ac}\]
If this equals a positive number, then there are 2 REAL solutions, if 0, only 1 REAL solution, and if a square root of a negative number, then no real solutions
