The discriminant is -71
The discriminant is less than zero, the equation has no real roots
Explanation:Given the equation:
[tex]3m^2-13m+20=0[/tex]The discriminant is given as:
[tex]D=b^2-4ac[/tex]where a = 3, b = -13, c = 20
[tex]\begin{gathered} D=(-13)^2-4(3)(20) \\ \\ =169-240 \\ =-71 \end{gathered}[/tex]The discriminant is less than zero, the equation has no real roots
