For the general quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac.
So, for x^2 + x + 2 = 0, a = 1, b = 1, and c = 2, therefore
b^2 - 4ac = 1^2 - 4(1)(2) = 1 - 8 = - 7.
Answer: - 7

Answer:
(B)-7
Step-by-step explanation:
The given quadratic equation is:
[tex]0=x+2+x^2[/tex]
which can be written as:
[tex]x^2+x+2=0[/tex]
Now, the value of the discriminant is given as:
[tex]b^2-4ac=(1)^2-4(1)(2)[/tex]
[tex]b^2-4ac=1-8[/tex]
[tex]b^2-4ac=-7[/tex]
Thus, the value of the discriminant is [tex]-7[/tex].
Hence, Option (B) is correct.
