If the coefficient of x2 and the constant term of a quadratic equation have opposite signs, then the quadratic equation has real roots.
Options
True
False
Advertisements
Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
Because in this case discriminant is always positive.
For example, in ax2+ bx + c = 0, as a and c have opposite sign, ac < 0
⇒ Discriminant = b2 – 4ac > 0
