Answer:

The discriminant of the given equation is 60

Explanation:


\text{Given the equation }3x^2+6x=2

we have to find the discriminant of above equation.


Equation:\thinspace 3x^2+6x-2=0


\text{Comparing above equation with general quadratic equation }ax^2+bx+c=0

a=3, b=6 and c=-2

The discriminant can be calculated by the formula


D=b^2-4ac


D=6^2-4(3)(-2)


D=36+24=60

Hence, the discriminant of the given equation is 60
