Question

F(x)=4x 2 +2x+6f, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, equals, 4, x, squared, plus, 2, x, plus, 6 What is the value of the discriminant of fff? How many distinct real number zeros does fff have?

Answer 1

-92 is the discriminant

0 real value 0's

Explanation:

Answer 2

Discriminant = -92

the equation has no distinct real numbers

Explanation:

Given the function f(x) = 4x^2 + 2x + 6 where;

a = 4, b = 2 and c= 6

The discriminant is expessed as D = b^2 - 4ac

Substitute;

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

D = 4 - 96

D = -92

Hence the discriminant is -92.

Since the discriminant is less than zero i.e D< 0, this shows that the zeros of the equation are not real but complex numbers. Hence, the equation has no distinct real numbers
