What is the value of discriminant in the equation shown below? x2+3x-6=0

ANSWER

The discriminant is -3

EXPLANATION

The given quadratic equation is:

Comparing this equation to:

we have

a=1, b=3, and c=-6

The discriminant is calculated using the formula,

We substitute the values to get:

Discriminant = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution of a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0

Discriminant  = (b² - 4ac)

It is given that, x² + 3x - 6 = 0

To find the value of discriminant

x² + 3x - 6 = 0

Here a = 1, b = 3 and c = -6

Discriminant  = (b² - 4ac)

 =  (3² - 4 * 1 * (-6))

 = (9 +24) = 33

Therefore discriminant  of given equation is 33
