zero
It can't be factored because the discriminant is less than zero.
72-4*4*4 = -15 The discriminant is less than zero so there's no solutions to the quadratic equation.
It's a quadratic expression which can't be factorized because its discriminant is less than zero.
The discriminant of the equation ... (b2-4ac) = (225-160) ... is real and positive, so the roots are real and unequal.
