Identify values of a, b, c: Identify the values of a, b, and c from the quadratic equation in the form ax2+bx+c=0. Comparing 5r2−3r+2=0 with ax2+bx+c=0, we find: a=5b0b1
Calculate discriminant: Calculate the discriminant using the formula D=b2−4ac. Substitute 5 for a, −3 for b, and 2 for c in the formula. D=(−3)2−4×5×2
Simplify discriminant: Simplify the discriminant. D=9−4×5×2D=9−40D=−31
