9x2 – 6x – 2 = 0 Comparing equation with ax2 + bx + c = 0 a = 9 , b = –6, c = –2 We know that , D = b2 – 4ac = (–6)2 – 4 × 9 × (–2) = 36 + 78 = 114 > 0 Concept: D < 0 , no real roots D = O , two equal real roots D > 0, two distinct real roots Since D > 0 Hence, there are 2 distinct real roots. So, the correct answer is (c)
