Question

What is the value of the discriminant in the equation shown below?
x^2-4x+10=0

Answer 1

The discriminant is b^2 - 4ac.
In your proble, a = 1, b = - 4, and c = 10.
Therefore, b^2 - 4ac = (-4)^2 - 4(1)(10)
= 16 - 40
= - 36

Answer 2

if the quadratic function is
ax^2 + bx + c = 0

then the discriminant is
b^2 - 4ac

so...
in ur question
x^2 - 4x +10=0
ax^2 + bx + c = 0

discriminant is...
b^2 - 4ac
(-4)^2 - 4(10) = 16 - 40 = -36

Answer 3

ok awesome i have one more question....
