Find the discriminant of the quadratic polynomial $3\sqrt{3}x^{2}+10x+\sqrt{3}=0$.


Given: Quadratic polynomial $3\sqrt{3}x^{2}+10x+\sqrt{3}=0$.

To do: To find the discriminant of the given quadratic polynomial.

Solution:   Given quadratic polynomial is $3\sqrt{3}x^{2}+10x+\sqrt{3}=0$.

On comparing this polynomial to $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$,

we have $a=3\sqrt{3},\ b=10\ and\ c=\sqrt{3}$

Discriminant $D=b^{2}-4ac$

On substituting values of $a,\ b\ and\ c$

$D=10^{2}-4\times3\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}$

$\Rightarrow D=100-36$

$\Rightarrow D=64$

Therefore, the discriminant of the given quadratic polynomial is $64$.
