Write the discriminant of the following quadratic equations:
$x^2-x+1 = 0$


Given:

Given quadratic equation is $x^2-x+1 = 0$.

To do:

We have to find the discriminant of the given quadratic equation.


Solution:

Comparing the given quadratic equation with the standard form of the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$, we get,

$a=1, b=-1$ and $c=1$.

The discriminant of the standard form of the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ is $D=b^2-4ac$.

Therefore,

$D=(-1)^2-4(1)(1)=1-4=-3$.


The discriminant of the given quadratic equation is $-3$.
