Determine the discriminant for the quadratic equation 0 = –2x2 + 3. Based on the discriminant value, how many real number solutions does the equation have?Discriminant = b2 – 4ac real number solutions

Determine the discriminant for the quadratic equation 0 = –2x2 + 3. Based on the discriminant value, how many real number solutions does the equation have?  Remember that the discriminant is calculated using the coefficents a, b and c.  Given 0 = -2x^2 + 0x + 3, the coeff. are a=-2, b=0 and c=3.

The discriminant is b^2 - 4ac.  Here, the discriminant is 0^2 - 4(-2)(3) = 24.

Since the discriminant is positive, you have two real, unequal roots.
