It is easier to understand this if you draw the curve of the equation as a graph. From the graph you will see that the line curves back on itself, usually in a nice parabolic curve. Because it curves back, you find that most values of Y correspond to two different values of X - so there are two solutions.
Quadratic curves only have two solutions when the discrimant is greater than or equal to zero.
If the discriminant of b2-4ac of the quadratic equation is greater the 0 then it will have 2 solutions.
If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is greater than zero then it will have two different solutions. If the discriminant is equal to zero then it will have two equal solutions. If the discriminant is less than zero then it will have no real solutions.
In the graph of a quadratic equation, the plotted points form a parabola. This parabola usually intersects the X axis at two different points. Those two points are also the two solutions for the quadratic equation. Alternatively: Quadratic equations are formed by multiplying two linear equations together. Each of the linear equations has one solution - multiplying two together means that the solution for either is also a solution for the quadratic equation - hence you get two possible solutions for the quadratic unless both linear equations have exactly the same solution. Example: Two linear equations : x - a = 0 x - b = 0 Multiplied together: (x - a) ( x - b ) = 0 Either a or b is a solution to this quadratic equation. Hence most often you have two solutions but never more than two and always at least one solution.
That's not an equation - it doesn't have an equal sign. Assuming you mean 2x2 - 3x - 90 = 0, you can find the solution, or usually the two solutions, of such equations with the quadratic formula. In this case, replace a = 2, b = -3, c = -90.

Yes. It can have 0, 1, or 2 solutions.
Yes and sometimes the two solutions are equal

A quadratic equation can have two real solutions, one real solution, or two complex solutions, none of them real.
No. A quadratic may have two identical real solutions, two different real solutions, ortwo conjugate complex solutions (including pure imaginary).It can't have one real and one complex or imaginary solution.
