Question

f(x)= -4x^2+10x-8 what is the value of the discriminant of f how many distinct real number zeros does f have

Answer 1

-28 for the first box and 0 for the second box.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

The function is f(x) = -4x²+10x-8

Let Δ be our the dicriminant

• Δ= b²-4ac
• b = 10
• a = -4
• c = -8
• Δ = 10²-4*(-4)(-8)
• Δ = 100-128
• Δ = -28

The value of the discriminant is -28 and since it is negative this function has no real zeroes
