The Discriminant
b ac2 4
The Discriminant tells how many & what type
of solutions the quadratic has.
b ac2 4
Put the quadratic in standard form
first!
b ac2 4 If the discriminant is POSITIVE, then you will have 2 real roots.
If the discriminant is ZERO, then you will have 1 real root.
If the discriminant is NEGATIVE, then you will have 2 imaginary roots.
