Which of the following correctly describes the roots of the quadratic equation shown below? x^2-6+12=0 2 complex roots (my guess) 2 irrational roots 2 rational roots 1 rational (double) roots

2 complex roots

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of real roots for a quadratic, we apply the discriminate. The discriminate is the inside portion of the square root from the quadratic formula.

• yields 2 real roots

• yields 1 real root

•[tx]b^2-4ac<0[/tex] yields no real roots

where a=1, b=-6, and c=12

has no real roots
