Same thing as your last post

Just evaluate b^2 - 4ac and decide
Answered by Alex
So I use the quadratic formula?
Answered by Reiny
You could but you don't have to
recall that
x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)/(2a)

Judging from the type of question you have been asking, I trust you have learned the properties of the "discriminant" b^2 - 4ac
I gave them to you in one of the posts.
