Question

find the discriminant of the quadratic equation and indicate the number of roots. (3x^2)+2x+1=0

Answer 1

Answer: D = -8, two imaginary roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is equal to b^2 - 4ac. b = 2, a = 3, and c = 1
2^2 - (4 x 3 x 1) = 4 - 12 = -8. This value hints that there are two imaginary roots, as it's a negative number and is not a perfect square.
