Question 2 • Common Core Algebra I 2014 - MA3109 B-CR
A quadratic has two real solutions when its discriminant, b² − 4ac, is greater than zero. For A, the discriminant is (−7)² − 4(2)(−9) = 121; for C, it is (−3)² − 4(4)(−1) = 25; and for D, it is (−2)² − 4(1)(−8) = 36. Each is positive, so these equations have two real solutions. B has discriminant 0, and E has discriminant −11, so neither has two real solutions.
