If the solutions are p and q, then the quadratic is (x-p)(x-q) = 0
or
x2 - (p+q)x + pq = 0
Hope this is what the question meant!

Draw the graph of the equation. the solution is/are the points where the line cuts the x(horisontal) axis .
When you graph the quadratic equation, you have three possibilities... 1. The graph touches x-axis once. Then that quadratic equation only has one solution and you find it by finding the x-intercept. 2. The graph touches x-axis twice. Then that quadratic equation has two solutions and you also find it by finding the x-intercept 3. The graph doesn't touch the x-axis at all. Then that quadratic equation has no solutions. If you really want to find the solutions, you'll have to go to imaginary solutions, where the solutions include negative square roots.
No, it must have two answers.
If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is equal or greater than zero it will have 2 solutions if it is less than zero then there are no solutions.
