Respuesta :

12 times something cannot equal to 2 unless it is a negative number,is there a negative number included?

Answer:

The discriminant of the given equation is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\text{Given the equation }3x^2+6x=2[/tex]

we have to find the discriminant of above equation.

[tex]Equation:\thinspace 3x^2+6x-2=0[/tex]

[tex]\text{Comparing above equation with general quadratic equation }ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]

a=3, b=6 and c=-2

The discriminant can be calculated by the formula

[tex]D=b^2-4ac[/tex]

[tex]D=6^2-4(3)(-2)[/tex]

[tex]D=36+24=60[/tex]

Hence, the discriminant of the given equation is 60
