Question

What is the discriminant of the quadratic equation 4x² + x + 3 = 0?

Answer 1

-47

Explanation:

For quadratic equations, the discriminant is in the format, b² - 4ac, which you would also find in the quadratic formula.

This quadratic equation is in the format ax² + bx + c, and gives you all the values you need to plug in for the discriminant.

a = 4

b = 1

c = 3

Discriminant = 1² - 4(4)(3)

= 1 - 48

= -47

I hope this helped!
