What is the discriminant: 2x^2 + 3x + 10=0
The discriminant of a quadratic equation is:
\(b^2-4ac\)
Plug in the values.
\(3^2-4(2)(10)\)
\(=9-80\)
\(=-71\)
Since the discriminant is negative, you can tell that the quadratic has no real solutions.
Hope that helped!

Question :
What is the discriminant: 2x^2 + 3x + 10=0
Answer :
from the matter we know that :
a = 2
b = 3
c = 10
discriminant formula is :
\(b^{2}-4ac\)
\(= 3^{2}-4(2) \times 10\)
\(= 9-8 \times 10\)
\(= 9-80\)
\(= -71\)
