discriminant, negative.

Work Step by Step

Discriminant of a Quadratic Equation For a quadratic equation $ax^{2}+bx+c=0,a\neq 0$ : 1. If $b^{2}-4ac\gt 0,$ there are two unequal real solutions. 2. If $b^{2}-4ac=0,$ there is a repeated solution, a double root. 3. If $b^{2}-4ac \lt 0$ , there is no real solution. --- Fill the blanks with: discriminant, negative.
