find the value of discriminant of the equation x2-2x-7=0
Answers
EXPLANATION.
Equation ⇒ x² - 2x - 7 = 0.
To find discriminant.
⇒ D = 0. Or b² - 4ac = 0.
⇒ (-2)² - 4(1)(-7) = 0.
⇒ 4 + 28 = 0.
⇒ D = 32.
Value of discriminant = 32.

(1) = The number of almost positive roots of polynomial equation f(x) = 0. ( arranged in decreasing order of the degree ) can not exceeds the number of changes of signs in f(x) = 0 as we move from left to right.
(2) = The number of almost negative roots of a polynomial equation f(x) = 0. can not exceeds the number of changes of signs in f(-x).
Step by step explanation:-
Discriminant:-
Discriminant is helps to find nature of roots.
We can find Discriminant through :-
In Quadratic equation ax² +bx + c
Discriminant is determined by b² -4ac
Discriminant is denoted by D
Now lets find Discriminant !!
Given Q.E x²-2x -7 =0
a = 1
b = -2
c = -7
We know that
D = b²-4ac
D = (-2)² -4 (1)(-7)
D = 4 + 28
D = 32
So, Discriminant of Given Quadratic equation is
32
