Question

Hello, I need some assistance with this homework question please for precalculusHW Q40

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

Since we have the function:

`f(x)=3x^2+12x-5`

The discriminant of the quadratic is given by the following expression:

`b^2-4ac`

Where a=3, b=12 and c=-5:

Plugging in the terms into the expression:

`12^2-4*3*(-5)`

Multiplying terms:

`144+60`

Adding numbers:

`Discriminant=204`

In conclusion, since the discriminant is >0 , the appropriate option is OPTION A.
