Given the equation, 3x2 + 4x – 2 = 0, calculate the discriminant and determine the number and nature of the solutions.

1.d = 40; 2 irrational
2.d = 40; 2 rational
3.d = −8; 2 complet

Answer:

first option

Step-by-step explanation:

given a quadratic equation in standard form

ax² + bx + c = 0 ( a ≠ 0 )

then the nature of the roots can be found using the discriminant

Δ = b² - 4ac

• If b² - 4ac > 0 , then the 2 roots are real and irrational

• If b² - 4ac > 0, and a perfect square, then 2 roots are real and rational

• If b² - 4ac = 0 , then 2 roots are real and equal

• If b² - 4ac < 0 , then 2 roots are not real

3x² + 4x - 2 = 0 ← is in standard form

with a = 3, b = 4 and c = - 2 , then

b² - 4ac = 4² - (4 × 3 × - 2) = 16 - (- 24) = 16 + 24 = 40

since b² - 4ac > 0 , then 2 real and irrational roots

Answer:

2. d = 40; 2 rational

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant (d) of a quadratic equation [tex]ax^2 + bx + c = 0[/tex] is:

[tex]\boxed{\mathrm{d =} \ b^2 - 4ac}[/tex].

If:

• d > 0, then there are two real solutions

• d = 0, then there is a repeated real solution

• d < 0, then there is no real solution.

In this question, we are given the quadratic equation [tex]3x^2 + 4x - 2 = 0[/tex]. Therefore, the discriminant of the equation is:
b² - 4ac = (4)² - 4(3)(-2)

             = 16 - (-24)

             = 40

Since the discriminant, 40, is greater than zero, the quadratic equation has 2 rational solutions.
