Q. What is the discriminant of the quadratic equation 7x2x6=0 7 x^{2}-x-6=0 ?\newline169169\newline167167\newline169 -169 \newline167 -167
  1. Identify coefficients: Identify the coefficients of the quadratic equation.\newlineThe standard form of a quadratic equation is ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0. In the equation 7x2x6=07x^2 - x - 6 = 0, the coefficients are:\newlinea = 77, b = 1-1, and c = 6-6.
  2. Recall discriminant formula: Recall the formula for the discriminant of a quadratic equation. The discriminant of a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is given by the formula D=b24acD = b^2 - 4ac.
  3. Substitute coefficients: Substitute the coefficients into the discriminant formula.\newlineUsing the coefficients from Step 11, we substitute them into the formula:\newlineD=(1)24(7)(6)D = (-1)^2 - 4(7)(-6).
  4. Calculate discriminant: Calculate the discriminant. D=14(7)(6)=1(168)=1+168=169D = 1 - 4(7)(-6) = 1 - (-168) = 1 + 168 = 169.
