Determine the number and type of solutions to the equation x^2+7x=−11.

mxddi3:

^that has nth to do with my question, but ok

Timothykisel:

nice im trying lol

mxddi3:

@jhonyy9

jhonyy9:

x^2 +7x +11 = 0 this is your quadratic ?

mxddi3:

yes

jhonyy9:

did you heard about discriminant ?

mxddi3:

yes

jhonyy9:

and about the roots of quadratic in function of discriminant > 0 or = 0 or < 0 ?

mxddi3:

yeah,i think so

jhonyy9:

ok when the discriminant D > 0 how are the roots of quadratic ?

mxddi3:

so if ur asking what i think you are, then she told us if the discriminant is =0, there is one real solution, and if D>0 , then there is 2 real solutions and then if D<0, there are no real (2 imaginary) solutions

jhonyy9:

exactly perfect

mxddi3:

so then we do \[b^2-4ac\] which is then going to be \[7^2-4(1)(11)\]

jhonyy9:

so sorry a quadratic has always two roots so in case when D=0 than x_1 = x_2

jhonyy9:

ok ?

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @jhonyy9 so sorry a quadratic has always two roots so in case when D=0 than x_1 = x_2 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) im confused about this

mxddi3:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Timothykisel \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @jhonyy9 ok ? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) How do you guys know these stuff \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) im learning in in algebra class?

jhonyy9:

yes so D = ?

mxddi3:

i got 5 when i solved it

jhonyy9:

so D = 5 > 0 result what ?

mxddi3:

2 solutions to the quadratic. but idk if there's anything else i have to do after this

jhonyy9:

2 real solutions that 's all i think

mxddi3:

ok, ty!

jhonyy9:

yw anytime is my pleasure bye bye
