Question

What is the discriminant of 9х2 + 2 = 10x?

Answer 1

$\bf 9x^2+2=10x\implies 9x^2-10x+2=0 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{discriminant of a quadratic} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{9}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{-10}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{+2}=0 ~~~~~~~~ \stackrel{discriminant}{b^2-4ac}= \begin{cases} 0&\textit{one solution}\\ positive&\textit{two solutions}~~\checkmark\\ negative&\textit{no solution} \end{cases} \\\\\\ (-10)^2-4(9)(2)\implies 100-72\implies 28$
