How many real-number solutions does the equation have? -4x^2 + 10x + 6 = 0 a. no solutions b. two solutions c. infinitely many solutions d. one solution

Option b. Two solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find how many real number solutions the equation has we have to solve it

Given equation: -4x² + 10x + 6 = 0

taking 2 common from the equation

2(-2x² + 5x + 3) = 0

-2x² + 5x + 3 = 0

taking minus sign common from the above equation

2x² - 5x - 3 = 0

We will solve this equation by factorization in such a way that the sum of two factors is equal to -5x and the product is -6x²

2x² - 6x + x - 3 = 0

taking common above

2x(x-3) + 1(x-3) = 0

taking (x-3) common

(2x+1)(x-3) = 0

2x + 1 = 0

2x = -1

x =

x - 3 = 0; x = 3

the solutions are

Both values are real numbers, therefore correct option is b

1 is c

2 is a

3 is a
