Question

Use the discriminant to determine the number of solutions for the quadratic equation.

Answer 1

2 real solutions

Explanation:

y = -x^2 + 3x + 5

First find the the discriminant:

using b² - 4(a)(b)

(3)²- 4(-1)(5)

=9+20

=29

since the discriminant is more than 0, there are 2 real solutions
