Question

Find the discriminant of the quadratic equation x squared minus 2 x plus 3 equals 0.

  1. - 6
  2. - 8
  3. - 7
  4. - 9

The correct answer is: - 8


    for a given equation :
    ax2+bx+c=0
    D(discriminant)=b2-4(a)(c)
    In the given equation x squared minus 2 x plus 3 equals 0.
    a=1
    b=-2
    c=3
    D=(-2)2-4*(1)*(3)
    D=4-12=-8
    D is -8 ,D<0 this means the given equation have no real roots
