Question

F(x) = 4x² – 17x+3

Answer 1

Answer:

discriminant: 241

2 real roots

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is the part of the quadratic equation that is under the sqare root

x=(-b±√(b²-4ac))/2a

discriminant: b²-4ac

We also know that a quadratic equation is in the form ax²+bx+c = 0, so we can plug in the values we know from our equation to find the discriminant.

a=4

b=-17

c=3

(-17)^2-4(4)(3)

We also know that if the discriminant

is positive we have 2 real roots

is 0 we have 1 real root aka a repeated real solution

is negative we have no real roots
