Question

Consider the quadratic equation 3x^2-6=2x. (a) What is the value of the discriminant? (b) What does the discriminant of the quadractic equation tell about the solutions to 3x^2-6=2x?

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) discriminant is positive, 76

(b) the above tells you there are two real roots

Step-by-step explanation:

the discriminant is 'b² - 4ac'

3x² - 2x - 6 = 0  ∴ a = 3, b = -2, c = -6

(-2)² - 4(3)(-6) = 4 + 72

Answer 2

(a) The discriminant of the quadratic equation is positive, 76.

(b) The quadratic equation tells you there are two real roots.

What is a quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is a polynomial with a degree of 2 or the maximum power of the variable is 2 in quadratic equations. It has two solutions as its maximum power is 2.

The discriminant of a polynomial in mathematics is a quantity that depends on the coefficients and enables inference of some root features without computing them.

Given that the quadratic equation 3x²-6=2x.

The discriminant Of the quadratic equation is calculated by the formula below:-

D = b² - 4ac

3x² - 2x - 6 = 0  ∴

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

Put the value of the coefficient to get the value of the discriminant.

D = (-2)² - 4(3)(-6) = 4 + 72 = 76

Therefore, the discriminant of the quadratic equation is positive, 76, and the quadratic equation tells you there are two real roots
