Question 7 • FL-1200700-Mathematics for College Algebra MIS

What is the discriminant of the quadratic equation 3 – 4x = –6x2?

Answer
A
–68
B
–56
C
76
D
88

Explanation

Rewrite the equation in standard form: 6x² − 4x + 3 = 0, so a = 6, b = −4, and c = 3. The discriminant is b² − 4ac = (−4)² − 4(6)(3) = 16 − 72 = −56. Therefore, the discriminant is −56, choice B.
