Solution

The discriminant of a quadratic equation is given by the formula D = b² - 4ac, where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0.

In the given equation x² - 9x - 3 = 0, a = 1, b = -9, and c = -3.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

D = (-9)² - 41(-3) D = 81 - (-12) D = 81 + 12 D = 93

So, the discriminant of the given quadratic equation is 93.
