Identify coefficients: Identify the coefficients a, b, and c from the quadratic equation2x2+9x+3=0 by comparing it to the standard form ax2+bx+c=0. Here, a=2, b=9, and c=3.
Recall discriminant formula: Recall the formula for the discriminant of a quadratic equation, which is D=b2−4ac.
Substitute values: Substitute the identified values into the discriminant formula: D=(9)2−4×2×3.
Calculate discriminant: Calculate the discriminant: D=81−24.
