To find the discriminant of a quadratic equation in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, the discriminant is given by b^2 - 4ac.
In this case, the equation is 9x^2 - 6x + 8 = 0, so a = 9, b = -6, and c = 8.
The discriminant is therefore:
(-6)^2 - 4(9)(8) = 36 - 288 = -252
So, the correct answer is minus, 252−252.
