Calculate the discriminant and use it to determine how many real-number roots the equation has. 3x2 – 6x + 4 = 0 A. three real-number roots B. no real-number roots C. one real-number root D. two real-number roots

Three
I think?
can you tag someone else to see what they think to??
@Loser66
Can't be 3. the highest exponent is 2, so you there can only be 0, 1, or 2 solutions. The discriminant is b² - 4ac. - If b² - 4ac = 0, there is 1 solution. - If b² - 4ac is positive, there are 2 solutions. - If b² - 4ac is negative, there are 0 solutions.
my answer whould be c?
@peachpi
No. What did you get for the discriminant.
sorry, i meant to say d!:)
I am with peachpi. They asked you to find discriminant. You MUST have it first.
i am not sure how to do that, will you helpme??
For the equation ax² + bx + c = 0, the discriminant is b² - 4ac. For your equation, a = 3, b = -6, and c = 4.
okay
So what's b²-4ac?
um is that the abc equation?? @peachpi
I'm not sure what the a,b,c equation is. I gave you the numbers above. You just need to plug them into the expression b²-4ac to get the discriminant.
-6^2-4(3)(4) @peachpi
is this correct? @peachpi
yes and now you need to simplify it to a single number.
