Question

What is the discriminant of 3 x squared minus 10 x = negative 2?

Answer 1

it can also be explained as A on edg :)

Answer 2

The discriminant of 3 x squared minus 10 x = negative 2 is 76

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

`3x^2-10x=-2`

`3x^2-10x+2=0`..........(1)

We can find out the discriminant by using the formula

`D=b^2-4ac`

So from the equation (1)

We have b = -10

a= 3

c= 2

Now put all these values of a,b and c in the formula of discriminant to find out the value of D

So

`D=(-10)^2-4(3)(2)`

`D=100-24=76`

D=76

So the discriminant of the given quadritic equation = 76
