Answer:

2 real solutions

Explanation:

The formula for determining the discriminant is b² - 4ac.

So, let's identify our variables.

a = 1

b = 3

c = 2

Now, we can plug in our values.

3² - 4(1)(2)

9 - 8

1

1 is the discriminant of this function, and since 1 is positive, this indicates that there are two distinct real number solutions.
