Answer to Problem 2OE

Discriminant is 16

As the discriminant is positive (perfect square) the roots are real, rational and unequal.

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

Given equation x2+6x+5=0

Discriminant of the equation ax2+bx+c is given by the formula D=b24ac

Discriminant of the equation also helps us to understand the nature of the roots of the equation.

In the given equation we compare it with ax2+bx+c and put the values in discriminant formula we get,

  D=(6)24(1)(5)=3620=16

As the discriminant is positive and perfect square hence the roots are real, rational and unequal.

If the discriminant of the equation is a perfect square then the equation can be solved by factoring. In this case it is a perfect square so it can be solve using factors.
