Question

What is the discriminant of 3x2 + 6x = 2?

Answer 1

Discriminant is 60

Explanation:

the discriminant of
`3x^2 + 6x = 2`

To find discriminant , first we write the equation in the form of

`ax^2+bx+c=0`

`3x^2 + 6x = 2`

Subtract 2 on both sides

`3x^2 + 6x-2=0`

a=3, b=6, c=-2

Formula for discriminant is
`b^2-4ac`

Plug in the values

`b^2-4ac=(6)^2-4(3)(-2)=60`

Discriminant is 60
