### Instruction: help me answer this question Find the discriminant of the quadratic equation √2x^2 + x + √2 = 0., think step by step
### Assistant:  , The answer is The discriminant (D) of the quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is given by the formula D = b^2 - 4ac. For the given equation, a = √2, b = 1, and c = √2. Substituting these values into the formula, we get D = (1)^2 - 4*√2*√2 = -7.
