Find the discriminant of the quadratic equation \(3x^2 - 4x + 2 = 0\)

Solution

Step 1 :The discriminant of a quadratic equation \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) is given by \(D = b^2 - 4ac\).

Step 2 :Substitute a = 3, b = -4, c = 2 into the formula, we get \(D = (-4)^2 - 4 * 3 * 2\)

Step 3 :Calculate the expression to find the discriminant, \(D = 16 - 24 = -8\)
