Using the discriminant to determine the number of real solutionsKey Takeaways:

Standard: Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x2 = 49), taking square roots, completing the square, the quadratic formula and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation. Recognize when the quadratic formula gives complex solutions and write them as a ± bi for real numbers a and b.

Quadratic equations can have zero, one, or two real roots. You can determine the number of roots that a quadratic has by finding the discriminant (d=b2−4 ac¿ and noticing:

If d<0, there are no real roots If d=0, there is one real root

If d>0, there are two real roots
