Question

Find the discriminant of the equation and give the number and type of solutions of the equation 4x^2+2x-5=0

Please help fast!!

Answer 1

The answer is 84.

Explanation:

The given equation is

4x*2 + 2x -5 = 0

Here a= 4, b= 2, c= -5

Since Discriminant= b*2 -4ac

Putting values

Discriminant= (2)*2 - 4(4)(-5)

= 4 + 80

= 84

Since our Discriminant(84) is >0 and is not a perfect square so the roots of the given equation are unequal and irrational(real).
