- Discriminant Formula: b² - 4ac, with a = x^2 coefficient, b = x coefficient, and c = constant
So firstly, using our equation plug in the values into the discriminant formula and solve as such:
(-7)² - 4 × 3 × 4
49 - 48
1
So our discriminant is 1. <u>Since 1 is positive and a perfect square, this means that there are 2 real, rational solutions.</u>
Answer:
p(7) = 57
Step-by-step explanation:
Because this is a function, all you have to do is input 7 for x like so:
p(x)=x^2+x+1 ---------------> p(7)=7^2+7+1
so 49 + 8
= 57
