What is the value of the discriminant in the equation shown below? x^2 -6x +4 =0

Discriminant = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

We use formula to find the discriminant.

Discriminant (D) = b^2 - 4ac

The given equation is x^2 - 6x + 4 = 0.

Here the value of a = 1, b = -6 and c = 4.

Plug in the given values in the formula, we get

Discriminant (D) = (-6)^2 - 4*1*4

= 36 - 16

Discriminant = 20

Thank you.

the height of the surface increases from the center out to the sides of the road.

step-by-step explanation:

as we move out we move away from the x-axis.

and as mentioned in the problem statement that height of a road increases when we move away from the center x.

hence proved that 3rd option

the height of the surface increases from the center out to the sides of the road.

is the correct option.
