Answer:
• D=249
,• Two real numbers zeros
Explanation:
Given the quadratic function:
[tex]f\mleft(x\mright)=4x^2-17x+3[/tex]a=4, b=-17, c=3
The discriminant is obtained using the formula:
[tex]\begin{gathered} D=b^2-4ac \\ =(-17)^2-4(4)(3) \\ =289-48 \\ =249 \end{gathered}[/tex]Since the discriminant is greater than 0, the equation has 2 real solutions (or zeros).
Note:
• If D<0, the equation has 0 real solutions.
,• If D=0, the equation has 1 real solution.
