Question

What is the discriminant: 2x^2 + 3x + 10=0

Answer 1

The discriminant of a quadratic equation is:

$b^2-4ac$

Plug in the values. 

$3^2-4(2)(10)$

$=9-80$

$=-71$ 

Since the discriminant is negative, you can tell that the quadratic has no real solutions. 

Hope that helped!

Answer 2

Question :
What is the discriminant: 2x^2 + 3x + 10=0
Answer :
from the matter we know that :
a = 2
b = 3
c = 10

discriminant formula is :
$b^{2}-4ac$

$= 3^{2}-4(2) \times 10$

$= 9-8 \times 10$

$= 9-80$

$= -71$
