If for example the roots where x = 2 or x =5 then within the brackets this would be (x-2)(x-5) = 0 and by multiplying out the brackets the quadratic equation comes to x2-7x+10 = 0

What are the roots of the quadratic equation below?
That depends on the equation.
Using the discriminant determine the number and type of solutions for 3x2-6x plus 30?
6^2 -4(3*30) = -96 meaning that the given quadratic expression has no real roots
A function to compute the real roots of the quadratic equation?
Where the equation is ax2 + bx + c the roots are given by the solutions to : (-b +/- sqrt(b2 - 4ac))/2a
What is the graph of a quadratic formula?
In general, quadratic equations have graphs that are parabolas. The quadratic formula tells us how to find the roots of a quadratic equations. If those roots are real, they are the x intercepts of the parabola.
Why does the discriminant determine the number and type of the solutions for a quadratic equation?
A quadratic equation is wholly defined by its coefficients. The solutions or roots of the quadratic can, therefore, be determined by a function of these coefficients - and this function called the quadratic formula. Within this function, there is one part that specifically determines the number and types of solutions it is therefore called the discriminant: it discriminates between the different types of solutions.
