Answer:

-47

Explanation:

The discriminant of a quadratic is the expression inside the radical of the quadratic formula.

b^2−4 (ac)

Substitute in the values of a, b, and c.

1^2 − 4 (4 x 3)

Evaluate the result to find the discriminant.

Simplify each term.

One to any power is one.

1 − 4 (4 x 3)

Multiply

−4 (4 x 3)

Subtract 48 from 1.
