For the equation 2x² - 3x = 5, what is the value of the discriminant?
The value of the discriminant is given by the equation b² − 4ac.
If we re-arrange 2x² - 3x = 5, we see that 2x² - 3x - 5 = 0
From the equation ax² + bx + c = 0 we can say that;
a = 2
b = -3
c= -5
Put this into the discriminant equation b² − 4ac and you get
(-3)² − 4x(2)x(-5) which = 49
Hope that helps. :)
equation for the discriminant given by. b²-4ac
then a = 2 , b = -3 c = 5
(-3)^2 - 4*2*5
9 - 40
-31
2x²-3x=5
2x²-3x-5=0
Discriminant = b²-4ac
= (-3)² - 4(2)(-5)
