Answer:√5
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 3x + 1 = 0
Yo find discriminant
The discriminant helps us to determine the number of solutions to a quadratic equation
The general formula for solving quadratic equation is
x = -b+-(√b^2 -4ac)/2a
(√b^2 -4ac) gives the determinant
From the equation, a =1 (the coefficient of x^2
b = 3, the coefficient of x
c = 1, the constant
√b^2 -4ac =√3^2- 4×1×1
=√5
