The discriminant of the function is 120, and the function has 2 different x-intercepts

<h3>How to determine the discriminant?</h3>

The function is given as:

f(x) = -7x^2 + 8x + 2

The discriminant (d) is calculated using:

D =b^2 - 4ac

So, we have:

D = 8^2 - 4 * (-7) * 2

Evaluate

D = 120

Because the value of D is greater than 0, then the function has 2 different x-intercepts
