This quadratic equation has no real roots because its discriminant is less than zero.
To find which has imaginary roots, use the discriminant of the quadratic formula (b2 - 4ac) and see if it's less than 0. (The quadratic formula corresponds to general form of a quadratic equation, y = ax2 + bx + c)A) x2 - 1 = 0= 0 - 4(1)(-1) = 4Therefore, the roots are not imaginary.B) x2 - 2 = 0= 0 - 4(1)(-2) = 8Therefore, the roots are not imaginary.C) x2 + x + 1 = 0= 1 - 4(1)(1) = -3Therefore, the roots are imaginary.D) x2 - x - 1 = 0= 1 - 4(1)(-1) = 5Therefore, the roots are not imaginary.The equation x2 + x + 1 = 0 has imaginary roots.
To determine the x-intercepts, i.e. the roots, of the equation y = x2 + 4x - 12, simply solve the quadratic equation x2 + 4x - 12 = 0.Recall that the roots of a quadratic equation Ax2 + Bx + C = 0 are given by the solution x = (-B +/- square-root (B2 - 4AC) / 2A.Plug the coefficients A=1, B=4, and C=-12 into this equation and you get.x = 4 and X = -12So the function crosses the X axis at x=4 and x=-12.Note: If the discriminant, B2 - 4AC, were zero, there would be one real root instead of two. If it were negative, there would be two complex conjugate roots.
x2 + 4x = 0 ⇒ x(x + 4) = 0 ⇒ x = 0 or x = -4
x2-4x+4 = 0 (x-2)(x-2) = 0 x = 2 or x = 2 It has two equal roots.
There are 2 roots to the equation x2-4x-32 equals 0; factored it is (x-8)(x+4); therefore the roots are 8 & -4.
x2+4x+4 = 25 x2+4x+4-25 = 0 x2+4x-21 = 0 (x+7)(x-3) = 0 x = -7 or x = 3
Um, x2+3x-5=0? This is ax2+bx+c where a=1, b=3, and c=-5. The sum of the roots is -b/a so that means the sum of the roots is -3. Also, product of the roots is c/a. That means the product of the roots is -5. -3+(-5)= -8. There you have it.
x2 - 4x - 9 = 0 ∴ x2 - 4x = 9 ∴ x2 - 4x + 4 = 13 ∴ (x - 2)2 = 13 ∴ x - 2 = ±√13 ∴ x = 2 ± √13
First consider the auxiliary equation x2 - 4x - 12 = 0 This simplifies to (x + 2)(x - 6) = 0 which has root x = -2 and x = 6 Since the coefficient of x2 is positive, the inequality is satisfied between the roots that is, -2 < x < 6
x2 - 4x + 4 = 0 (x - 2)(x - 2) = 0 x = 2
2x = x2 + 4x - 3 x2 + 2x - 3 = 0 (x - 1)(x - 2) = 0
