Full solution

Q. Find the discriminant.\newline7x24x4=07x^2 - 4x - 4 = 0
  1. Identify values: Identify the values of aa, bb, and cc from the quadratic equation in the form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0. Comparing 7x24x4=07x^2 - 4x - 4 = 0 with ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0, we find: a=7a = 7 b=4b = -4 c=4c = -4
  2. Calculate discriminant: Calculate the discriminant using the formula D=b24acD = b^2 - 4ac.\newlineSubstitute 77 for aa, 4-4 for bb, and 4-4 for cc in the formula.\newlineD=(4)24×7×(4)D = (-4)^2 - 4 \times 7 \times (-4)
  3. Simplify discriminant: Simplify the discriminant.\newlineD=16(112)D = 16 - (-112)\newlineD=16+112D = 16 + 112\newlineD=128D = 128
