Easy
Determine the nature of the roots of 2x² + (-5)x + (5) = 0 using the discriminant.
Explanation
Explanation
The discriminant is D = b² - 4ac = (-5)² - 4(2)(5) = 25 - 40 = -15. Since D 0, the equation has no real roots.
PRO TIP
Re-check your working by substituting the answer back into the original question.
