Answer:

The Discriminant is 25

Explanation:

For this case, the discriminant will be given by

b ^ 2 - 4 * a * c

Where

b = 7

a = 3

c = 2

substituting

b ^ 2 - 4 * a * c = (7) ^ 2 - 4 * (3) * (2) = 25

Therefore the value of the discriminant is 25.

How many x-intercepts does this function have?

It has two intercepts with the x axis and can be found by equaling the function to zero. That is to say,

3x2 + 7x + 2 = 0

The results will be the interceptions with x.

What are the number of zeros for this function?

The number of zeros for this function is

two real number solutions

Because it is a quadratic function.
