Question 325815
Hello, 
(Hint: the key to Algebra is understanding the words and symbols. Once you conquer that the subject is a breeze)
Discriminate is as follows:
In the quadratic formula below b^2-4ac is the discriminate.
x = (-b +- sqrt( b^2-4*a*c ))/(2*a) 
So in this equation:
7x^2-8x+5=0
the discriminate is 
8^2-4*7*5 or 
-76
Make sense?
