Find the discriminant of $\"+6-5x=6x%5E2\"$ solve using the quadratic equation. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The discriminant is the value in the radicand of the quadratic formula.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It is: b^2 - 4ac.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We need to take your given equation and write it in standard form.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6 - 5x = 6x^2 becomes 6x^2 + 5x - 6 = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In the quadratic equation, 6x^2 + 5x - 6 = 0, a = 6, b = 5 and c = -6.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Plug that into the discriminant and simplify.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b^2 - 4ac....This is the discriminant.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We now plug and chug. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(5)^2 - 4(6)(-6)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "25 - (24)(-6)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "25 + 144 = 169\r
\n" ); document.write( "
