Answer:
discriminant =0
1 real root
Explanation:
The discriminant is b^2 -4ac
when the equation is written in the form ax^2 +bx+c
f(x) = 3x^2 +24x+48
a = 3 b = 24 and c =48
discriminant = 24^2 - 4(3)*(48)
=576-576
=0
If the discriminant >0 we have 2 real roots
if discriminant = 0 we have 1 real root
if discriminant <0 we have 2 complex roots
