Answer:
m <
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the discriminant Δ = b² - 4ac
Given a quadratic equation in standard form, y = ax² + bx + c
Then the value of the discriminant determines the nature of the roots
• For 2 real roots then b² - 4ac > 0
Given
y = 3x² + 7x + m ← in standard form
with a = 3, b = 7 and c = m, then
7² - (4 × 3 × m) > 0
49 - 12m > 0 ( subtract 49 from both sides )
- 12m > - 49
Divide both sides by - 12, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.
m <
