OpenStudy (cwrw238):
2x2 – 9x + 2 = –1
2x^2 - 9x + 3 = 0
discriminant for ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is
b^2-4ac
so plug in a = 2, b = -9 and c = 3 into this formula and work it out
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
ok I'll start it off for you
discriminant = (-9)^2 - 4*2*3

greater than 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So it would be C
