Answer

True

Work Step by Step

The graph of a function will cross the x-axis at its vertex when the discriminant of a function is zero. That is, $D=b^2−4ac=0$. In other words, when the discriminant $D$ is 0, then the the quadratic function attains 1 real solution. Thus, the given statement is $\bf{True}$.
