Answer 1

Hey there!

To find the discriminant of an equation, you first need to identify the A, B, and C of your equation. You can do this by comparing your equation to the standard form. 

Standard Form: ax² + bx + c
Equation: 3x² – 10x + 2

If you add 2 to both sides, you can get everything on one side and you can assure that all of your numbers are accurate. 

A will be equal to 3, B will be –10, and C will be 2. 

Now, you need to plug in those numbers into the discriminant equation:

b² – 4ac

If your discriminant is 0, there is one rational solution. If it's a positive perfect square, there are 2 rational solutions. If it's a positive non–perfect square, there will be 2 irrational solutions, and if it's a negative number, there will be 2 complex solutions. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)
