The discriminant of ff is given by:
b^2-4ac=24^2-4 (multiply)3(multiply)48=576-576=0
2
−4ac=24
2
−4⋅3⋅48=576−576=0.
How many real number zeros does ff have?
Since the discriminant of ff is \green{0}0, ff has 11 distinct real number zero. Therefore, the graph of ff touches the xx-axis once. The graph of ff is shown below
