Question

If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is equal to -8, which statement describes the roots?

O There are two complex roots.
O There are two real roots.
O There is one real root.
O There is one complex rood​

Answer 1

Two complex roots

Explanation:

IF YOURE DOING THE REVIEW AND IT'S EQUAL TO 4, THE ANSWER IS

"two real roots"

Answer 2

There are two complex roots.

Explanation:

If the discriminant is less than 0 (a negative number), it will have two complex roots.

The quadratic will never touch the x axis, and will have no x intercepts, so the solutions are imaginary/complex.

Since -8 is a negative number, there will be two complex roots.

So, the answer is that There are two complex roots.
