Use standered form to determine the values of a,b,and c.
Standered form:
[tex]ax^2+bx+c=0 [/tex]We are given:
[tex]3x^2+11x-4[/tex]
a=3
b=11
c=-4
Plug the given values in the discriminant:
[tex] b^2-4ac[/tex]
[tex] (11)^2-4(3)(-4)
[/tex]
[tex]121-(4)(3)(-4)[/tex]
[tex]121-(12)(-4)[/tex]
[tex]121-(-48)[/tex]
[tex]121+48[/tex]
Final answer:169
