Use the quadratic equation x^2+3x+5=0 to answer the questions. A: What is the discriminant of the quadratic equation? B: Based on the discriminant, which statement about the number and type of solutions to the equation is correct?
A: 11
A: 29
A: −11
A: −29
B: The equation has two complex solutions.
B: The equation has one repeated real solution.
B: The equation has two real solutions.
The discriminant of this equation is 3^2-20=9-20=-11. Since the discriminant is negative, its square root will be an imaginary number, and there will be two complex solutions. Hope this helps!
