Answer:

8

Explanation:

To find the discriminant, we need to get the equation in standard form

9x^2+2=10x^2

Subtract 10x^2 from each side

9x^2-10x^2+2=10x^2-10x^2

-x^2 +2 =0

This is in the form ax^2+bx +c =0

where a=-1 b=0 and c=2

The discriminant is

b^2 -4ac

0^2 -4*(-1)*2

0+8

The discriminant is 8
