Answer:
D=96

Explanation:

You must add 2 to both sides of the equation:


3x^2-10+2=-2+2\\3x^2-8=0

You can find the discriminant of the quadratic equation given in the problem with the formula shown below:


D=b^2-4ac

Based on the given equation, you have that:


a=3\\b=0\\c=-8

Susbstitute values. Then you obtain:


D=0^2-4(3)(-8)=96
