Decide which part of the quadratic formula tells you whether the quadratic equation can be solved by factoring.

−b b2 − 4ac 2a

Use the part of the quadratic formula that you chose above and find its value, given the following quadratic equation:

2x2 + 7x + 3 = 0

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]b^{2}-4ac=25> 0\ for\ 2x^{2}+7x+3=0[/tex]

This shows the roots of the equation 2x² + 7x + 3 = 0 are distinct real roots .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given the expression is given in the question .

[tex]= \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Thus the part shows the equation is factoring is represented by [tex]b^{2}-4ac[/tex] .

Now as the quadratic equation given is

2x² + 7x + 3 = 0

As the equation in the form ax² + bx + c = 0

a = 2 , b = 7 , c = 3

Thus put all the values in [tex]b^{2}-4ac[/tex]

[tex]= 7^{2}-4\times 2\times 3[/tex]

As

7² = 49

[tex]=49-24[/tex]

= 25

Thus

[tex]b^{2}-4ac=25> 0\ for\ 2x^{2}+7x+3=0[/tex]

This shows the roots of the equation 2x² + 7x + 3 = 0 are distinct real roots .
