Question 8 • Fall 24 GMS Advanced Algebra: Concepts and Connections A

What is the discriminant of 9x2 + 2 = 10x?

Answer
A
–356
B
–172
C
28
D
72

Explanation

Write the equation in standard form: 9x² − 10x + 2 = 0. Here a = 9, b = −10, and c = 2, so the discriminant is b² − 4ac = (−10)² − 4(9)(2) = 100 − 72 = 28. The correct choice is C, 28.
