What is the value of the dicriminant -7x^2+2x-4=0

Question

anonymous · Answer

how many real solutions if any?

anonymous · Answer

$$-7x^2 + 2x -4 = 0 $$

anonymous · Answer

The discriminant is given by:
$$b^2 - 4ac > 0$$

anonymous · Answer

$$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$$

anonymous · Answer

Can you match up a, b and c with the coefficients of your equation?

anonymous · Answer

how many real solutions?

anonymous · Answer

i or 2 or 2 imaginary

anonymous · Answer

2

anonymous · Answer

You will retrieve 2 distinct real roots

@QRAwarrior discriminant is just $b^2 - 4ac$ ^_^ the > 0 thingies are used to find how many roots the equation has..the question is asking for the value of the discriminant

anonymous · Answer

Oops

anonymous · Answer

No but he asked how many roots

anonymous · Answer

As well

lgbasallote · Answer

oh..i just looked at the main question lol..carry on

anonymous · Answer

@lgbasallote 
Would you mind helping me with my question after? I think I gave the open poster sufficient amounts of help

anonymous · Answer

can u give me the final answer?

anonymous · Answer

I'm terrible at math I think someone else can really help you i'm so so sorry =-(

anonymous · Answer

Sure

anonymous · Answer

$$-7x^2 + 2x -4 = 0, then$$

b = 2, a = -7, c = -4 
Now, can you work out the discriminant? All you have to do is sub in the values into the following equation:

anonymous · Answer

b^2 - 4ac
