Answer:

Explanation:

In each case we find the discriminant b^2 - 4ac.

If the discriminant is negative, we have two unequal, complex roots.

If the discriminant is zero. we have two equal, real roots.

If the discriminant is positive, we have two unequal real roots.

#51: 8v^2 - 12v + 9: the discriminant is (-12)^2 - 4(8)(9) = -144. we have two unequal, complex roots

#52: (-11)^2 - 4(4)(-14) = 121 + 224 = 345. we have two unequal real roots.

#53: (-5)^2 - 4(7)(6) = 25 - 168 (negative). we have two unequal, complex roots.

#54: (4)^2 - 16 = 0. We have two equal, real roots.
