Answer:
Negative
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic that does not touch the x-axis always has a negative discriminant.
positive
[tex]As\ shown\ in\ the\ figure[/tex]
[tex]when\ g(x)=0,\ have\ 2\ real\ roots\ (b^2-4ac > 0,\ \ have\ 2\ real\ roots)[/tex]
[tex]So\ the\ discriminant\ of\ g\ positive[/tex]
I hope this helps you
