Which statement about the following equation is true? 3x2 – 8x + 5 = 5x2

Question

A.The discriminant is less than 0, so there are two real roots.

B.The discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two real roots.

C.The discriminant is less than 0, so there are two complex roots.

D.The discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two complex roots.

Answer 1

3x^2 - 8x + 5 = 5^x2

-2x^2 - 8x + 5 = 0

discriminant = (-8)^2 - 4(-2)(5) = 64 + 40 = 104

the discriminant is greater than zero so there are two real roots.
