Question

Find the DISCRIMINANT; then state the type and number of solutions for the equation: −x2+2x−4=0

Answer 1

-12 , it has 0 real solution

Explanation:

Discriminant (Δ) = b^2 - 4ac

For the equation -x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0, we have:

a = -1

b = 2

c = -4

Now, calculate the discriminant:

Δ = (2)^2 - 4(-1)(-4)

Δ = 4 - 16

Δ = -12
