Question

Use the discriminant to determine the nature of the roots of the following questions
Y^2 - 5y -3 = 0

Answer 1

Answer:

the function has two distinct real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

D=b²-4ac    

D<0 No real roots

D=0 One real root

D>0 Two distinct real root.

    (-5)²-4*1*-3

    25+12

    37

Since D is > than 0, the function has two distinct real roots.
