Determine the discriminant for the quadratic equation 0=-2x2+3. Based on the discriminant value, how many real number solutions does the equation have?

Discriminant = b2-4ac

0
1
2
24

Answer 1

-2x^2 + 3 has TWO real solutions (It has 0 imaginary solutions)

0^2 - 4(-2)(3)

0 - 24

24

If the discriminant is less than zero, the equation has 2 imaginary solutions and 0 real solutions.

If the discriminant is zero, the equation has 1 imaginary and 1 real solution.

If the discriminant is greater than zero, the equation has 0 imaginary solutions and 2 real solutions.
