Use the quadratic equation x2+8x-4=0 to answer the questions.

A: What is the discriminant of the quadratic equation?

B: Based on the discriminant what can you infer about the number and type of solution?

A: 80 B: The discriminant is positive, which means that the equation has two distinct real number solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is the part under the square root in the quadratic formula, b^2-4ac. [ (8) ^2]-[4 (1) (-4) ] = 64 - (-16) = 80.
