Question

What is the discrimination of 3x^2+6x=2

Answer 1

60
D>0, there are 2 distinct real roots

Explanation:

3x2+6x−2=0
a=3,b=6,c=−2

The formula for discriminant is b2−4acSubstitute the given values.

b2−4ac
(6)2−4(3)(−2)
=60
therefore, D>0, there are 2 distinct real roots

Answer 2

Discriminant, not discrimination.  I'm not discriminating against you.  ;)

You must re-write   3x^2+6x=2    in standard form:     3x^2 + 6x - 2 

Here a=3, b=6 and c= -2

The discriminant is b^2 - 4ac.  Here, it's     6^2 - 4(3)(-2), or 36 + 24, or 60.

This quadratic has two real, unequal, zeros.
