given, y=x2-3x-5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "discriminant formula = b2-4ac
\n" ); document.write( "here a=1(coefficient of x2)
\n" ); document.write( " b=-3(coefficient of x)
\n" ); document.write( " c=-5(constant)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "discriminant = (-3)2-4*1*(-5)=9+20=29 --answer
