When the equation has the form $\"+ax%5E2+%2B+b%2Ax+%2B+c\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( "The discriminant is $\"+b%5E2+-+4a%2Ac+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In your equation,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+6x%5E2+-+5x+-+3+\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+a+=+6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+b+=+-5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+c+=+-3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+b%5E2+-+4a%2Ac+=+%28-5%29%5E2+-+4%2A6%2A%28-3%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+b%5E2+-+4a%2Ac+=+25+%2B+72+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "discriminant = 97 \n" ); document.write( "
