Answer:
2 real solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining the discriminant is b² – 4ac.
So, let’s identify our variables.
a = 1
b = 3
c = 2
Now, we can plug in our values.
3² – 4(1)(2)
9 – 8
1
1 is the discriminant of this function, and since 1 is positive, this indicates that there are two distinct real number solutions.
