    The value of the discriminant = 132

    Step-by-step explanation:

    4x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0

    Using the discriminant

    b^2 - 4ac

    a = 4

    b = - 2

    c = - 8

    Using the coefficients with also adding the signs before each

    Insert the values

    b^2 - 4ac

    = (-2) ^2 - 4 * 4 * (-8)

    = 4 - 4 * 4 * - 8

    = 4 - 16 * - 8

    = 4 - - 128

    = 132

    The value of the discriminant is 132
