When the radical equals 0 or C.

Step-by-step explanation: I got it right on a test.

Answer 2

The discriminant of a quadratic equation determines the nature of the roots of the equation whether they are rel or imaginary. The formula for determining the discriminant is
d = b2 - 4acwhen there are two identical real roots, then the discriminant is equal to zero. The answer is C.
