Mattie uses the discriminant to determine the number of zeros the quadratic equation 0 = 3x2 – 7x + 4 has. Which best describes the discriminant and the number of zeros? The equation has one zero because the discriminant is 1. The equation has one zero because the discriminant is a perfect square. The equation has two zeros because the discriminant is greater than 0. The equation has no zeros because the discriminant is not a perfect square.

Do you know how to find the dicrimenanet

OpenStudy (manray):

i have no clue man i failed this quiz 3 times now and i need some help[

OpenStudy (will.h):

to find the discriminant we use \[b^2 - 4ac\]

OpenStudy (manray):

ok

OpenStudy (will.h):

okay so we have b = -7 and a = 3 and c = 4 so find the discriminant

OpenStudy (manray):

-49-48

OpenStudy (manray):

-97

OpenStudy (will.h):

so 97 that's the discriminant we don't care about the signs as you see it is not perfect square and not equal to 1 so the answer is C make sense?
