Verified answer
Answer:
In finding the Nature of Roots, Find the Discriminant using the formula b²-4ac
1. x²+5x-4
5²-4(1)(-4)
25+16= 41
Nature of Roots is Real Irrational Unequal
2. -4x²-8x+3
-8²-4(-4)(3)
64+48= 112
Nature of Roots is Real Irrational Unequal
3. -4x²+10x-1
10²-4(-4)(-1)
100-16= 84
Nature of Roots is Real Irrational Unequal
4. -3x²+8x+15
8²-4(-3)(15)
64+180= 244
Nature of Roots is Real Irrational Unequal
5. 9x²-6x+9
-6²-4(9)(9)
36-324= -288
