Attempt any four subquestions from the following:

For the quadratic equation 3x2 + 2x-1 = 0, find the value of the discriminant.

Given: quadratic equation 3x2 + 2x-1 = 0

Compare it with ax2 + bx + c = 0.


a = 3, b = 2 and c = -1.


Discriminant = D = b2 - 4ac


= (2)2 – 4(3)(-1)


= 4 + 12


= 16
