Write the number of real roots of the equation x2 + 3 |x| + 2 = 0.

If ax2 + bx + c = 0 then x =

If D = b2 − 4ac ≥ 0 then the values of x are real


If D = b2 − 4ac < 0 then the values of x are complex


|z| is always a positive real number regardless of x being a real number or complex number.


Given eqn. is |x|2 + 3|x| + 2 = 0 and a = 1, b = 3 and c = 2


|x|2 + 3|x| + 2 = 0


|x| =


|x| = 2 or −1


But |x| cannot be negative


No real root for the equation.
