Determine the Discriminant $$m ( x ) = - 3 x ^ { 2 } + 8 x - 9$$

Multiple Choice

Determine the discriminant. Then use it to determine the number of x-intercepts that the function has. $$m ( x ) = - 3 x ^ { 2 } + 8 x - 9$$

A) Discriminant: -44; no x-intercepts
B) Discriminant: -44; two x-intercepts
C) Discriminant: -172; no x-intercepts
D) Discriminant: -172; two x-intercepts
