Question

What is the value of the discriminant 3x^2-2x+5=0

Answer 1

For the equation
ax² + bx + c = 0
the discriminant (d) is
d = b²-4ac

Your equation has
a = 3
b = -2
c = 5
Substituting these values into the expression for d, we get
d = (-2)²-4(3)(5)
d = 4 - 60
d = -56

The value of the discriminant is -56.
