Discriminant of 9x2 + 2 = 10x is 28
Solution:
Discriminant of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c is
=> b2 – 4ac
Given equation is 9x2 + 2 = 10x
Moving 10x to the left we get
=> 9x2 – 10x + 2 = 0
Comparing with general form of equation
=> a = 9, b = -10, c=2;
Substituting into the discriminant formula, we get
=> (-10)2 – 4(9)(2)
=> 100 – 72
=> 28
So, the discriminant of 9x2 + 2 = 10x is 28
