Question

Compute the value of the discriminant and give the number of real solutions of the Quadratic equation 3x^2+5x-2=0

Answer 1

D=49

x=1/3

x= -2

Answer 2

Discriminant = 49, two real solutions

Explanation:

Discriminant = b² - 4ac = (5)² - 4(3)(-2) = 25 + 24 = 49

Since 49>0, then the quadratic equation has two real solutions.
