Q1Written answer

x2 + 3 = 0

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Given the quadratic equation,

x2 + 3 = 0

On comparing it with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we have

a = 1, b = 0, and c = 3

So, the discriminant of the given equation will be

D = b2 – 4ac = 02 – 4 × 1 × 3 = –12

Hence, the required solutions are:
