What is the value of the discriminant in the equation shown below? x^2 -6x +4 =0

Mathematics

irakobra [83]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Discriminant = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

We use formula to find the discriminant.

Discriminant (D) = b^2 - 4ac

The given equation is x^2 - 6x + 4 = 0.

Here the value of a = 1, b = -6 and c = 4.

Plug in the given values in the formula, we get

Discriminant (D) = (-6)^2 - 4*1*4

= 36 - 16

Discriminant = 20

Thank you.

Step 1: Find the slope:

    m= \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \dfrac{-2-7}{4-(-2)} =  \dfrac{-9}{6}= -\dfrac{3}{2}

This gives you y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+b, but we need to find b.

To find b, substitute in one (x,y) pair and it doesn't matter which one.  I'll go with (4,-2):

    \begin{aligned}-2&=-\dfrac{3}{2}(4)+b\\[0.5em]-2&=-6+b\\[0.5em]4&=b\end{aligned}

Now take that b-value and plug in into the slope-intercept form:

     y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+4

It's always a good idea to toss in the other x-value from the other point, to make sure it checks out.
