Step-by-step explanation:
Roots of a quadratic equation
The standard representation of a quadratic equation is:
where a,b, and c are constants.
Solving with the quadratic formula:
The argument of the radical is called the discriminant:
The nature of the solutions of the equation depends on the value of d as follows:
We are given the equation:
Here: a=-2, b=6, c=5. The discriminant is:
d = 116
Since d is positive and a non-perfect square, the roots are:
b. real, irrational, and unequal
