The discriminant can be determined from the number of roots of the graph.
If Disc> 0, the function has two distinct roots
If Disc = 0, the function has a repeated root
If Disc < 0, the function has no real root.
Since the given graph has no real root, i.e. it does not cross x-axis at any point, so we can say that the discriminant of the given function is negative.
So the answer to this question is option C
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure below shows a portion of the graph of the function
, hence the average rate of change (slope of the blue line) between the
and
is


f(x) - g(x)
=> (3x² + x - 3) - (x² - 5x + 1)
=> 3x² + x - 3 - x² + 5x - 1
=> 3x² - x² + x + 5x - 3 - 1
=> 2x² + 6x - 4
