Q. x2−3x+2=0How many distinct real solutions does the given equation have?
Identify coefficients: Identify the coefficients of a, b, and c in the quadratic equationx2−3x+2=0. Compare x2−3x+2 with ax2+bx+c to find a, b, and c. a=1, b0, b1
Calculate discriminant: Calculate the discriminant using the formula b2−4ac. The discriminant will determine the nature of the roots. Discriminant = (−3)2−4⋅1⋅2 Discriminant = 9−8 Discriminant = 1
Analyze solutions: Analyze the discriminant to determine the number of distinct real solutions. Since the discriminant is positive 1 > 0, there are two distinct real solutions for the equation x2−3x+2=0.
