GIVEN:
- x² + 7x - 6 = 0
TO FIND:
- Nature of the roots.
SOLUTION:
Comparing the equation to standard form of quadratic equation.
- ax² + bx + c
We get :
- a = 1
- b = 7
- c = -6
Discriminant (D) = b² - 4ac
- 7² - 4(1)(-6)
- 49 - (-24)
- 49 + 24
- 73
Since, the discriminant is > 0 and it is not a perfect square hence the roots are real, rational and distinct.

When the discriminant is > 0 and it is a perfect square, the roots are real, irrational and distinct. If the discriminant is = 0, the roots are real and equal. If the discriminant is < 0, the roots are imaginary and distinct.
