Finding the discriminate of a quadratic formula determines the number and type of answers.

The formula is b^2 -4(ac)

a = 6. b = -7 and c = -4

-7^2 -4(6*-4) = 145

The answer is a positive number so this means there are 2 real solutions.

Answer:

two real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the discriminant to determine the type and number of solutions

b^2 -4ac  where ax^2 +bx +c

If b^2 -4ac > 0 we have 2 real solutions

b^2 -4ac = 0 there is 1 real solution

b^2 -4ac < 0 there are 2 complex solutions

6x^2 -7x -4 = 0

a=6  b =-7  c = -4

b^2 -4ac

(-7)^2 -4(6)(-4)

49 + 96

145>0

There are real solutions
