Answer:

second and fourth option

Explanation:

the discriminant of a quadratic equation is the easiest way to know how many solutions there will be

(discriminant: b²- 4ac)

{a discriminant of 0 means 1 solution; discriminant < 0 means no real roots, discriminant > 0 means two real roots }

so, we can quickly run b² - 4ac for each equation provided:

(note: ax² + bx + c is the formatting we use to find a, b, and c)

8² - 4(-9)(-8)

64 - 288 = -224

4² - (4)(1)(4)

16 - 16 = 0

-1² - (4)(-10)(-9)

-1 - 360 = -361

-6² - (4)(3)(3)

36 - 36 = 0

So, because the second and fourth options listed have a discriminant of 0, they have 1 real solution

hope this helps!! have a lovely day :)
