Use the discriminant to find the nature of the solutions to the following quadratic equation

3x^2 +x-3=0



Two imaginary number solutions

one repeated rational solution

one repeated irrational number solution

Two different irrational number solutions

Two different rational number solutions.​

we know that

the discriminant of a quadratic equation is


D=b^2-4ac

we have


3x^2+x-3=0

so

a=3

b=1

c=-3

substitute in the equation Of discriminant


\begin{gathered} D=(1^2)-4\cdot(3)\cdot(-3) \\ D=1+36 \\ D=37 \end{gathered}

we have that

D >0

that means

Two different rational number solutions
