Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to check if the given equation does not intersect the x-axis

if it does not, then it has no real root

If the discriminant is less than zero, then it has no real roots and does not intersect the x-axis

The formula for the discriminant is;

D = b^2-4ac

In the question;

a = -1 , b = 6 , c = 10

so;

D = 6^2-4(-1)(10)

D = 36-40

D = -4

Since discriminant is less than zero, then there is no real root and the graph does not cross the x-axis
