Hard
Determine the nature of the roots of 2x² + (-1)x + (6) = 0 using the discriminant.
Explanation
Explanation
The discriminant is D = b² - 4ac = (-1)² - 4(2)(6) = 1 - 48 = -47. Since D 0, the equation has no real roots.
PRO TIP
Re-check your working by substituting the answer back into the original question.
