Compute the value of the discriminant and give the number of real solutions of the quadratic equation. -5x^2+8x-3=0

Answer 1

Discriminat:

b^2 - 4ac > 0 two real solutions

b^2 - 4ac = 0 one real solution

b^2 - 4ac < 0 no real solutions

a = -5

b = 8

c = -3

(8)^2 - 4(-5)(-3)

64 - 60 = 4

therefore two real solutions
