2x^2+4x+3=0 find the discriminant?

The discriminant is important because it informs you of the nature of the roots: B^2-4(A)(C) It's part of the quadratic formula

**If the answer is under 0, then No Real # Solution

**If it's equal to 0, then the roots are equal and real

**If it's greater than 0 then it's a real # solution with distinct answers.

So using the formula above we get (4)^2 -(4)(2)(3)=

-8,<===Answer

Because -8<0...or the solution is less than 0, it means there's no real # solution

Hope that helped

a = 2 b = 4 c = 3

The discriminant is part of the quadratic formula

b^2 - 4ac

Gives

4^2 - 4*2*3 = 16 - 24 = -8

(incidently this shows there are no real roots because the answer is negative)

Discriminant of AX^2 + BX + C = 0 is B^2 - 4AC.

A = 2

B = 4

C = 3

B^2 - 4AC

= (4)^2 - 4*2*3

= 16 - 24

= -8

discriminant = b^2-4ac

a= 2. b= 4, c= 3

d= 4^2-4(2)(3)= 16-24= -8
