Answer:

  c.  r^2 -4qs

Step-by-step explanation:

When compared to the standard quadratic ...

  ax^2 +bx +c = 0

we find that your quadratic has ...

  a = q, b = r, c = s

Substituting these into the formula for the discriminant, we get ...

  d = b^2 -4ac = r^2 -4qs

The discriminant is r^2 -4qs.
