Question

Find the number of real number solutions for the equation. x^2 - 3x + 8 = 0

A) 2
B) 0
C) Cannot Be Determined
D) 1

Answer 1

C step by step explaination it cannot be determined because it has no solution

Answer 2

0

Explanation:

Read off the coefficients of this quadratic polynomial x^2 - 3x + 8 = 0:

a = 1, b = -3, c = 8.

Now calculate the discriminant, b² - 4ac:

(-3)² - 4(1)(8) = 9 - 32 = -23

Because the discriminant is negative, the two roots will be complex. There are no real roots. Correct answer is B (0).
