Determine the discriminant for the quadratic equation −3=x2+4⁢x+1. Based on the discriminant value, how many real number solutions does the equation have? Discriminant is equal to b squared minus 4 A c

Rewrite the equation in standard form: x² + 4x + 4 = 0, so a = 1, b = 4, and c = 4. The discriminant is b² − 4ac = 4² − 4(1)(4) = 0. A zero discriminant means there is exactly one real solution, so the answer is 1 real solution (choice C).
