The number of solutions of a quadratic equation


ax^2+bx+c=0

Depends on its discriminant


\Delta = b^2-4ac

  • If
    \Delta>0 there are two distinct solutions
  • If
    \Delta=0 there are two coincident solutions
  • If
    \Delta<0 there are no solutions.

We know that there are two real solutions (I assume you mean distinct solutions), so we know that the discriminant is positive:


b^2-4ac = 9+28t > 0 \iff t>-(9)/(28)
