Hi, I have this equation which is a product of one quadratic and a quartic equation. I set them equal to 0 and solved the quadratic easily. For the quartic i used substitution and then obtained a quadratic. Using the discriminant for the quadratic i found a negative answer so it has no real solutions. Now the quadratic has solutions but the quartic has no solutions, what is going to happen to the composite equation ? It will only have the quadratic solution right ? So the answer must be 2 and only 2 real solutions, option (b). I just need to confirm if i am right . Is there another way to find the correct answer?
