The mum's age now = N
The daughter's age now = n
N=3n
N-6=6(n-6)
3n-6=6n-36
3n=30
n=10
The daughter's age now = 10
The mum's age now = 30

What is the discriminant of 3 x squared minus 10 x = negative 2?

sasho [114]

<u>Answer</u>:

The discriminant of 3 x squared minus 10 x = negative 2 is 76

<u>Explanation</u>:

<u>Given</u>:

$3x^2-10x=-2$

$3x^2-10x+2=0$ ..........(1)

We can find out the discriminant by using the formula

$D=b^2-4ac$

So from the equation (1)

We have b = -10

a= 3

c= 2

Now put all these values of a,b and c in the formula of discriminant to find out the value of D

So

$D=(-10)^2-4(3)(2)$

$D=100-24=76$

D=76

So the discriminant of the given quadritic equation = 76
