Determine the values of
a, b, and c for
the quadratic equation: 
4x² – 8x = 3

• a = 4, b = -8, c = 3
• a = 4, b =-8, c =-3
• a = 4, b = 8, c = 3
• a = 4, b = 8, c = -3

The discriminant is

• ax² + bx + c

• b - 4ac

• b² - 4ac

• b² + 4ac

If the discriminant is positive, how many solutions does the quadratic have?

• 2

• 1

• 0

If the discriminant is negative, how many solutions does the quadratic have?

• 2

• 1

• 0

If the discriminant is zero, how many solutions does the quadratic have?

• 2

• 1

• 0
