Answer:
Discriminant determines the nature of the roots. If:
D < 0 , roots are not real
D = 0 , roots are real and equal
D > 0 , roots are real and distinct
For the equation:
_/3 x^2 + 2_/2 x - 2_/3 = 0
Discriminant = (2_/2)^2 + 4(2_/3)(_/3)
= 8 + 24
= 32
Thus, D > 0
Therefore roots are real and distinct.
