    For 3x² - 24x + 48 = 0, find the discriminant and state how many real solutions the equation has.
  2. 2.
    For 2x² + 8x - 4 = 0, find the discriminant and state how many real solutions the equation has.
  3. 3.
    For 3x² + 8 = 0, find the discriminant and state how many real solutions the equation has.
  4. 4.
    For x² + 8x + 16 = 0, find the discriminant and state how many real solutions the equation has.
  5. 5.
    For 4x² + 7x - 10 = 0, find the discriminant and state how many real solutions the equation has.
  6. 6.
    For 3x² + x + 4 = 0, find the discriminant and state how many real solutions the equation has.
  7. 7.
    For 4x² - 40x + 100 = 0, find the discriminant and state how many real solutions the equation has.
