find the highlight%28cross%28desciriminat%29%29 discriminant and number and type of routs for the quesion 21+x2-6x=0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Write the given quadratic equation in the standard form ax^2 + bx + c = 0

    x^2 - 6x + 21 = 0.


The discriminant is

    d = b^2 - 4ac = (-6)^2 - 4*1*21 = 36 - 84 = -48.


Since the discriminant is negative, we conclude that the given equation 
has two different roots that are complex numbers.

Solved.
