Respuesta :
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
-2x^2 + 6x + 13 = 0
a = -2
b = 6
c = 13
b^2 - 4ac
6^2 - 4(-2)(13)
= 36 - (-104)
= 36 + 104
= 140
The value of the discriminant is 140.
-2x^2 + 6x + 13 = 0

= 36 + 104
= 140
The value of the discriminant is 140.
Let
D-------> discriminant of a quadratic equation
we know that
The discriminant of a quadratic equation is equal to
[tex] D=b^{2} -4ac [/tex]
In this problem
we have
[tex] -2x^{2} + 6x + 13=0\\ \\ a=-2\\ b=6\\c=13 [/tex]
Substitute the values in the formula above
[tex] D=6^{2} -4*(-2)*(13) [/tex]
[tex] D=36+104 [/tex]
[tex] D=140 [/tex]
therefore
the answer is
the value of the discriminant is [tex] 140 [/tex]
