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.
-$$5 y ^ { 2 } = - 4 y - 5$$
A) Two distinct irrational solutions
B) Two distinct rational solutions
C) One rational solution (a double solution)
D) Two distinct nonreal complex solutions

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

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

Evaluate the Discriminant for the Equation 5y2=−4y−55 y ^ { 2 } = - 4 y - 55y2=−4y−5
