The formula for the discriminant is b^2-4ac. The formula you wote is in the form of
ax^2+c=0, so first, you need to bring that -2 to the left. When you do that, you get (the original equation would be ax^2+bx+c but you have no bx.)
3x^2-8
So, since there's no b, it would be
b^2-4ac
0^2-4(3)(-8
-12 x -8
96
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It's already in a form that only ha positive exponents. Just to state it though you could rewrite it as 
or 
The question asks for positive exponents though so yu don't need to do that.
You also need to know 
so in this case 
so 
The answer is 3 because 48 / 16 = 3
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
