advanced-mathIf the discriminant is negative, the quadratic equation has:
A
Two real solutions
B
One real solution
C
No real solutions
D
Three solutions
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the correct answer. The discriminant determines the nature of the roots.
- If , there are two distinct real solutions.
- If , there is exactly one real solution (repeated).
- If (negative), there are no real solutions (two complex imaginary solutions).
Choice A is incorrect because that requires . Choice B is incorrect because that requires . Choice D is incorrect because quadratics have at most 2 solutions.
