What is the discriminant of 3x2 + 6x = 2?

Solution:

Given, the equation is 3x2 + 6x = 2.

We have to find the discriminant of the equation.

Discriminant, D = b2 - 4ac

The quadratic equation can be rewritten as

3x2 + 6x - 2 = 0

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

D = (6)2 - 4(3)(-2)

= 36 - 4(-6)

= 36 + 24

= 60

Therefore, the value of the discriminant is 60.

What is the discriminant of 3x2 + 6x = 2?

Summary:

The value of the discriminant for the quadratic equation 3x2 + 6x = 2 is 60.
