Find the discriminant x^2-5x+22=7x+2

Answer 1

`x^2-5x+22=7x+2\implies x^2-12x+20=0 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{discriminant of a quadratic} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{1}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{-12}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{+20}=0 ~~~~~~~~ \stackrel{discriminant}{b^2-4ac}= \begin{cases} 0&\textit{one solution}\\ positive&\textit{two solutions}\\ negative&\textit{no solution} \end{cases} \\\\\\ (-12)^2-4(1)(20)\implies 144-80\implies 64`
