Question

Using the discriminant, find the number of solutions for the given function: y=-x^2-3x+4

Answer 1

no real solutions

Explanation:

The discriminant is

b^2 -4ac

Where ax^ +bx+c

x^2-3x+4

so a=1 b = -3 c=4

(-3)^2 -4(1)(4)

9 - 16

-7

Since the discriminant is less than 0 there are no real solutions
