If the discriminant of a quadratie equation is equal to - 8 which statement describes the root

There are two complex too

There are two real roots

There is one real root

There is one complex rool

there are two complex roots

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that for a quadratic equation

y = ax² + bx + c

the solution given by the quadratic formula is

x = (-b ± √discriminant) / 2a

if the discriminant is negative, the radical term will become √ (negative number), which we know gives complex solutions. Hence we can eliminate real roots as possible answers.

Also notice that the "±" sign in the quadratic formula means that you will get 2 possible solutions:

x = (-b + √discriminant) / 2a

or

x = (-b - √discriminant) / 2a

Hence we know we will get 2 solutions.

Combining our findings, we can conclude that if the discriminant is negative, we will get 2 complex roots.

Answer: A!
