Question

The discriminant of a quadratic equation is negative 5. which answer describes the number and type of solutions of the equation?

Answer 1

We are given in the problem that the discriminant of a quadratic equation is negative five. Based on the quadratic equation formula, discriminant is the value under the radicand sign.If the value under the radical sign is negative or b2-4ac<0, then it simply shows that the quadratic equation has no real roots or solution. This simply means it has 2 conjugated complex roots.
