Answer:

The answer is that Regina is absolutely right

Explanation:

Hello!

The answer is that Regina is absolutely right, this is because the fundamental theorem of algebra states that every polynomial equation has the same number of solutions as its highest exponent, for this case it is 2. Therefore, there are two values of X that cause the equation to result in zero
