What is the discriminant of the polynomial below 2x2 + 5x - 8?

The discriminant of the given polynomial is 89.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is

           .... (1)

If a polynomial is defined as

           .... (2)

then the discriminant of the polynomial is

From (1) and (2), we get

The discriminant of the given polynomial is

Therefore the discriminant of the given polynomial is 89.

$450

step-by-step explanation:

first, you have to multiply 150x2=300

next, you have to add 150+300= 450

rounding to the nearest thousandth would be 452,000
