Answer:
The answer is 48.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for discriminant, D = b² - 4ac. Then you have to substitute the following values into the formula :
[tex]D = {b}^{2} - 4ac[/tex]
[tex]let \: a = 2 \\ let \: b = \sqrt{32} \\ let \: c = - 2[/tex]
[tex]D = {( \sqrt{32} )}^{2} - 4(2)( - 2)[/tex]
[tex]D = 32 + 16[/tex]
[tex]D = 48[/tex]
