Answer:
Option B. Positive
Step-by-step explanation:
Discriminant of a quadratic function is represented by (b² - 4ac)
- If the quadratic function intersects x-axis on two distinct points,
discriminant of the function will be positive.
b² - 4ac > 0
- If the function when graphed, intersects x-axis exactly on one point, discriminant of the function will be equal to zero.
b² - 4ac = 0
- If graph of the function doesn't intersect the x-axis, discriminant of the given function will be less than zero.
b² - 4ac < 0
From the figure attached,
Graph of a quadratic function intersects at two different points, therefore, function is greater than zero or positive.
Option B. will be the answer.
