d2 + 7/3d = 2

Need to find the nature of its roots.

 

 

 

d2+73d=2d2+73d2=0It is easiest to multiply this by 3 to get rid of the fraction3d2+7d6=0

 

Now the nature of the roots is determined by the discriminant.  That it the bit under the square root in the quadratic formula.

The symbol for the discriminant is a triangle.


=b24ac=72436=49+72=121

Now 121 is a perfect square so this means there will be two rational roots :)

 

If you want more explanation then ask for it :)
