Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminant is what's under the square root sign in the quadratic equation. The equation for the discriminant is [tex]b^{2}-4ac[/tex], where b is the coefficient of x, a is the coefficient of [tex]x^{2}[/tex], and c is the number with no variable attatched to it. If we plug in the numbers ([tex]17^{2} -4*4*3[/tex]) it gives you 241, which is the discriminant. Since 241 is more than zero, it has 2 zeros. If the discriminant was 0, there'd be 1 zero, and less then zero there would be zero zeros.
