Full solution

Q. Find the discriminant.\newline2s2+4s+2=02s^2 + 4s + 2 = 0
  1. Identify coefficients: Identify the coefficients aa, bb, and cc from the quadratic equation 2s2+4s+2=02s^2 + 4s + 2 = 0 by comparing it to the standard form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0. Here, a=2a = 2, b=4b = 4, and c=2c = 2.
  2. Calculate discriminant: Use the discriminant formula D=b24acD = b^2 - 4ac to calculate the discriminant of the quadratic equation.\newlineSubstitute the identified values into the formula: D=(4)24×2×2D = (4)^2 - 4 \times 2 \times 2.
  3. Perform calculations: Perform the calculations to find the value of the discriminant.\newlineD=164×2×2D = 16 - 4 \times 2 \times 2\newlineD=1616D = 16 - 16\newlineD=0D = 0
