The discriminant (D) of a quadratic polynomial of the form ax^2+bx+c is calculated using the following formula, where a, b and c are the coefficients of the corresponding terms. From the equation, we see that a=7, b=1 and c=15+2. Replacing the values of a, b and c in the previous formula, we obtain. Add the values 15 and 2. Multiply 4 times -7.
