Hard
Determine the nature of the roots of 2x² + (2)x + (4) = 0 using the discriminant.
Explanation
Explanation
The discriminant is D = b² - 4ac = (2)² - 4(2)(4) = 4 - 32 = -28. Since D 0, the equation has no real roots.
PRO TIP
Re-check your working by substituting the answer back into the original question.
