equation?
A. It has one real solution.
B. It has two real solutions.
C. It has two complex solutions.
D. It has one complex solution.

Respuesta :

Answer: A is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the test!!

It has one real solution if the discriminant of an equation is zero, option (A) is correct.

What is a quadratic equation ?

Any equation of the form [tex]\rm ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]  where x is variable and a, b, and c are any real numbers where a ≠ 0 is called a quadratic equation.

As we know, the formula for the roots of the quadratic equation is given by:

[tex]\rm x = \dfrac{-b \pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Here:

Discriminant D:

[tex]\rm D =\sqrt{b^2-4ac}[/tex]

D = 0

[tex]\rm x = \dfrac{-b \pm0}{2a}[/tex]

x = -b/2a (one real solution)

Thus, it has one real solution if the discriminant of an equation is zero, option (A) is correct.
