Answer:

B

Explanation:

Given a quadratic equation in standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0 : a ≠ 0

Then the nature of the roots may be determined using the discriminant.

Δ = b² - 4ac

• If b² - 4ac > 0 then 2 distinct real solutions

• If b² - 4ac = 0 then a real unique solution

• If b² - 4ac < 0 then no real solutions

5x² + 20x + 20 = 0 ← is in standard form

with a = 5, b = 20, c = 20, thus

b² - 4ac

= 20² - (4 × 5 × 20)

= 400 - 400

= 0

Hence the equation has one real unique solution → B
