Answer

$\Delta_f<0$ $\Delta_g>0$ $\Delta_h=0$ $\Delta_j=0$

Work Step by Step

Let $\Delta$ be the discriminant. The graph of $f$ does not intersect the $x$-axis, so its discriminant is negative: $$\Delta_f<0$$ The graph of $g$ intersects the $x$-axis two times, so itsdiscriminant is positive: $$\Delta_g>0$$ The graph of $h$ intersects the $x$-axis once, so its discriminant is zero: $$\Delta_h=0$$ The graph of $j$ intersects the $x$-axis once, so its discriminant is zero: $$\Delta_j<0$$
