Identify values: Identify the values of a, b, and c from the quadratic equation in the form ax2+bx+c=0. Comparing 8x2−2x+3=0 with ax2+bx+c=0, we find: a=8b=−2c=3
Calculate discriminant: Calculate the discriminant using the formula D=b2−4ac. Substitute 8 for a, −2 for b, and 3 for c in the formula. D=(−2)2−4×8×3
Simplify calculation: Simplify the discriminant calculation.D=4−4×8×3D=4−96D=−92
