Question

2x2 + 53x + 16 = 0

Open in App
Solution

Given: 2x2 + 53x + 16 = 0
To find the nature of the roots, we need to find the discriminant of the given quadratic equation.
We know that the discriminant of a quadratic equation, Δ = b2 – 4ac.
On comparing the given equation with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get:
a = 2, b = 53 and c = 16
Thus,
Δ = (53 )2 – 4(2)(16)
Δ = 75 – 128 = –53
Since Δ < 0, the roots of the given quadratic equation are not real.
