none of these

The discriminant of the given equation 6x² -2x -3 = 0 is 76. The correct option is the third option, 76

Given a quadratic equation of the form,

The discriminant, D is given by the formula

Now, from the question,

To determine the discriminant of  6x2 - 2x - 3 = 0

First, we will write the given equation properly

The equation is

Now, we will determine the values of a, b and c by comparing the given equation to the given form of quadratic equation above.

Comparing to

a = 6, b = -2 and c = -3

Now, we will put the values into the formula for finding discriminant

∴

D = 76

∴ The discriminant D is 76

Hence, the discriminant of the given equation 6x² -2x -3 = 0 is 76. The correct option is the third option, 76

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the discriminant is    ( b^2 - 4ac)

here in   6x^2 - 2x - 3

a = 6, b = -2, c = -3

discriminant D =  (b^2 - 4ac)

D = ( (-2)^2 - 4*6*(-3) ) =  ( 4 + 72) =  (76)
