  1. Step-by-step explanation:

    x^2- ax – b^2 = 0

    A= 1,B= -a and C= -b

    .. Discriminant B^2=- 4AC

    = (-a)^2 -4(1)(-b^2)

    = a^2+4b^2 = a positive value.

    Since a^2+ 4b^2 is not the perfect square, a

    root is irrational.

    Since D>0, then the equation has two

    irrational and unequal roots.
