Calculate the discriminant. x2 – 2x + 4 = 0 A. 0 B. 12 C. –12 D. 20
To calculate discriminant: \[\Large D = b^2-4ac\]
The discriminant in a quadratic equation is found by b² − 4ac. Since you are given a quadratic equation this can be used. A quadratic equation is an equation which can be written as: ax ² + bx + c where a ≠ 0 Find the corresponding values of a, b, and c from the quadratic equation and plug them into the formula for the discriminant.
SO A

To find discriminant for ax ² + bx + c where a ≠ 0, all you need to do is calculate b² − 4ac.
Really
Can you do that?
yes really
It's been so Long since I did this stuff
Can you find discriminant?
yes
Ok great!
It's C
