How can you use the graph of a quadratic equation to determine the number of real solutions of the equation?​

Answer:

Explanation:

The number of real solution of a quadratic equation can be found from the number of x-intercepts on the graph. If the curve passes through the x-axis twice, (2 x-intercepts), then the equation has two real solutions.

If it passes through once, (the vertex is on x-axis), then there is one real solution, and if it does not touch the x-axis at all (floating above it or below it), then it has no real solutions.

Hope this helped!
