The roots of the equation

Question:

The roots of the equation $2 x^{2}-6 x+7=0$ are

(a) real, unequal and rational
(b) real, unequal and irrational
(c) real and equal
(d) imaginary

Solution:

(d) imaginary

$\because D=\left(b^{2}-4 a c\right)$

$=(-6)^{2}-4 \times 2 \times 7$

$=36-56$

$=-20<0$

Thus, the roots of the equation are imaginary.
