Find the value of the discriminant of the quadratic equation
2x2 - 4x + 3 = 0.
Answers
Answer:
The required value of the discriminant is -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Quadratic equation : 2x² - 4x + 3 = 0
To find :
the value of the discriminant
Solution :
For a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 ;
Discriminant is given by, D = b²- 4ac
Comparing given quadratic equation with ax²+ bx + c = 0, we get
a = 2
b = -4
c = 3
Discriminant,
D = (-4)² - 4(2)(3)
D = 16 - 8(3)
D = 16 - 24
D = -8
Therefore, the value of the discriminant is "-8"
- So, what does it mean if the value of discriminant is less than 0?
The quadratic equation has no real roots. i.e., it has complex roots
So, 2x² - 4x + 3 = 0 has complex roots.
- The nature of roots is based on the value of discriminant.
D > 0 ; the quadratic equation has real and distinct roots
D = 0 ; the quadratic equation has real and equal roots
D < 0 ; the quadratic equation has complex roots.
Step by step explanation:-
Given Q.E
2x² -4x +3 =0
So, first of all what is Discriminant ??
In Quadratic equation ax²+bx+c = 0
If a,b are roots of Quadratic equation
These nature of roots are determined by Discriminant
What is nature of roots?
If roots are real /complex/conjugate/equal These are called as nature of roots
So, We can find Discriminant
Discriminant of Quadratic equation is given by b²-4ac
If they given any Quadratic equation We can find Discriminant by formula
D = b²-4ac
Discriminant is denoted by D
If D =0 roots are real and equal
D >0 roots are equal and real
D <0 Roots are complex &conjugate
D >0 &D is perfect square roots are rational and distint
D <0 &D is not perfect square roots are irrational &complex
______________________________
So, 2x²-4x +3 =0
D = b²-4ac
a = 2
b = -4
c = 3
D = (-4)² -4(2)(3)
D = 16 -24
D = -8
So,Discriminant of given Q.E 2x²-4x +3 =0 is -8
_______________________________________
Hence -8 is Discriminant roots of Quadratic equation is not real Hence This Quadratic equation has complex roots and roots are conjugate
