To determine the number of real solutions of the quadratic equation \(4x^2 + x + 3 = 0\), we can analyze the discriminant of the quadratic equation, which is given by the formula:
\[ D = b^2 - 4ac \]
In this case, the coefficients are:
- \(a = 4\)
- \(b = 1\)
- \(c = 3\)
Now, we can calculate the discriminant:
\[ D = (1)^2 - 4(4)(3) = 1 - 48 = 1 - 48 = -47 \]
Since \(D < 0\), this means the quadratic equation has no real solutions.
Thus, the correct response is:
no real solutions
