Find the value of the discriminant of each equation given X2 - 5x plus 4 equals 0?
The discriminant is 9.
If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is -4 how many solutions does the equation have?
If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is less then 0 then it will have no real solutions.
What can the discriminant tell you about a quadratic equation?
It can tell you three things about the quadratic equation:- 1. That the equation has 2 equal roots when the discriminant is equal to zero. 2. That the equation has 2 distinctive roots when the discriminant is greater than zero. £. That the equation has no real roots when the discriminant is less than zero.
If the discriminant of an equation is zero then?
The term "discriminant" is usually used for quadratic equations. If the discriminant is zero, then the equation has exactly one solution.
