Given:


3x^2-2x+5=0

To find the discriminant, use the discriminant formula in the quadratic equation below:


D\text{ = }b^2-4ac

Where,

a = 3

b = -2

c = 5

Input the values into the discriminant formula:


\begin{gathered} D\text{ = (}-2)^2-4(3)(5) \\ \\ D\text{ = 4 - }60\text{ } \\ \\ D\text{ = -56} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the value of the discriminant is -56

ANSWER:

-56
