Question

Given the trinomial 5x^2 - 2x- 3 predict the type of solutions

1.)Two rational solutions
2.)One rational solution
3.) Two irrational solutions
4.)Two complex solutions

Answer 1

One rational solution

Explanation:

proof

5x2 - 2x - 3=0, the sum of coefficients is 5-2-3=0, so the equation has exactly two solutions, x=1, and x = -3/5 this last is the one rational solution
