Q:

Mattie uses the discriminant to determine the number of zeros the quadratic equation 0 = 3x2 – 7x + 4 has. Which best describes the discriminant and the number of zeros? The equation has one zero because the discriminant is 1. The equation has one zero because the discriminant is a perfect square. The equation has two zeros because the discriminant is greater than 0. The equation has no zeros because the discriminant is not a perfect square.

Accepted Solution

A:
The equation has two zeros because the discriminant is greater than 0

An equation always has two zeroes unless the discriminant is 0 or negative.
