Applying it's formula, the discriminant of the quadratic equation 2x + 5x² is given of 24.
A quadratic equation is modeled by:
[tex]y = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]
The discriminant is:
[tex]\Delta = b^2 - 4ac[/tex]
In this problem, the equation is:
2x + 5x² = 1.
In standard form:
5x² + 2x - 1 = 0.
Hence the coefficients are a = 5, b = 2, c = -1, and the discriminant is given by:
[tex]\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = (2)^2 - 4(5)(1) = 4 + 20 = 24[/tex].
