Complete parts a-c for each quadratic equation.
a.Find the value of the discriminants.
b.Describe the number and types of roots.
c. Find the exact solutions by using the Quadratic Formula.

Problem: 3x^2 - 2x =0

So I have been trying to figure this out for a while and it is probably very simple but im stuck. I know that the formula to find the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac. I understand how to do it whenever the problem has the c given but im lost as to how to complete it whenever there is no c shown.

help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

C = 0

so the discrimnant becomes b[sup:2ugvau5l]2[/sup:2ugvau5l].
