Let's find the discriminant.

6x2+3x+4=0

Step 1: Find discriminant with a=6, b=3, c=4.

For this case we have a quadratic equation of the form:


ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0

Where:


a = 6\\b = 3\\c = 4

By definition, we have that the discriminant is given by:


D = b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)

Substituting the values:


D = (3) ^ 2-4 (6) (4)\\D = 9-96\\D = -87

Answer:

The discriminant of the given equation is:


D = -87
