Question

What is the discriminant: 2x^2 + 3x + 10=0

Answer 1

Question :
What is the discriminant: 2x^2 + 3x + 10=0
Answer :
from the matter we know that :
a = 2
b = 3
c = 10

discriminant formula is :

`b^(2)-4ac`


`= 3^(2)-4(2) * 10`


`= 9-8 * 10`


`= 9-80`


`= -71`

Answer 2

The discriminant of a quadratic equation is:


`b^2-4ac`

Plug in the values.


`3^2-4(2)(10)`


`=9-80`


`=-71`

Since the discriminant is negative, you can tell that the quadratic has no real solutions.

Hope that helped!
