Answer:-193

Explanation:

Given equation:- 6x² + x - 8 = 0

  • we know that the discriminant of a quadratic is the expression inside the radical of the quadratic formula.

lets see:-

  • 6x² + x - 8 = 0
  • b²-4(ac)
  • here a= 6,b=1,c=-8
  • (1)²-4(6×(-8))
  • 1-4(-48)
  • 1+192
  • 193

All the best!
