To find: The discriminant of the equation
The discriminant of the equation is
Given information:
The equation
Concept used:
The discriminant of a quadratic equation
If
If
If
Calculation:
Identify the values of
Now, substitute the values of
So, the discriminant is
Since the discriminant is positive, the equation has two real solutions.
As the quadratic equation can at most two solutions, the equation has zero imaginary solution.
Conclusion:
The discriminant of the equation is
