Find the discriminant for each quadratic function below. Then list the number of zeros/solutions for each quadratic function. 1) 4x^2+10x-16=0
Discriminant
Number of Zeros

2) -16x^2-7x+3=0
Discriminant
Number of zeros​

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is found in

which is part of the quadratic formula. In

, a = 4, b = 10, c = -16. Filling in for the discriminant:

It's positive so we know we have real roots; it's not a perfect square, so our solutions are 2 complex rational.

In , a = -16, b = -7, c = 3. Filling in for the discriminant:

It's positive and not a perfect square so the 2 solutions are complex rational
