The discriminant of a quadratic equation in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is given by the formula Δ = b^2 - 4ac.
In this case, the equation is 3x^2 - 9x + 11 = 0, so a = 3, b = -9, and c = 11.
Substituting these values into the discriminant formula, we get:
Δ = (-9)^2 - 4(3)(11)
= 81 - 132
= -51
Therefore, the discriminant of the equation 3x^2 - 9x + 11 = 0 is -51.
