Evaluate the discriminant for the equation. Then use it to predict the number of distinct solutions, and whether they are rational, irrational, or nonreal complex.
-$2 y ^ { 2 } = - 5 y - 6$
A) Two distinct irrational solutions
B) One rational solution (a double solution)
C) Two distinct nonreal complex solutions
D) Two distinct rational solutions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The discriminant is negative, so the solutions are nonreal complex.

Evaluate the Discriminant for the Equation 2y2=−5y−62 y ^ { 2 } = - 5 y - 62y2=−5y−6
