f (x) = 4x^2+2x+6find the value of the discriminate of f and how many distinct real number zeros f has.

The Solution:
Given:
Required:
To find the discriminant of f.
By formula, the discriminant (D) is:
[tex]D=b^2-4ac[/tex]Where:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a=4 \\ b=2 \\ c=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]Substitute:
[tex]\begin{gathered} D=2^2-4(4)(6)=4-96=-92 \\ No\text{ real root since D}<0 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the correct answers are:
Discriminant = -92
No distinct real root.
