39. A quadratic equation can be defined as an equation of degree 2. This means that the
highest exponent of the polynomial in it is 2. The standard form of a quadratic equation is
ax2+ bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are real numbers and a≠0. Every quadratic equation has
two roots depending on the nature of its discriminant, D = b2 - 4ac.Based on the above
information, answer the following questions.
(i) Which of the following quadratic equation have no real roots?
a)−4x2+7x−4=0 (b)−4x2+7x−2=0
