Question

Describe the type of solutions for a quadratic equation that has a discriminante of -10

Answer 1

solutions are complex, that is not real

Explanation:

The conditions of the solutions from the discriminant are

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

• If b² - 4ac = 0 then solutions are real and equal

• If b² - 4ac < 0 then solutions are not real

Thus for a discriminant of - 10 the solutions are not real
