What is the discriminant of the polynomial below x2 plus 5x plus 7?
52-4*7*1 = -3 The discriminant is less than zero so the quadratic equation will have no solutions.
Why quadratic equations have two solutions?
If the discriminant of b2-4ac of the quadratic equation is greater the 0 then it will have 2 solutions.
What are the two solutions for quadratic equations?
Quadratic curves only have two solutions when the discrimant is greater than or equal to zero.
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 are quadratic equations?
In mathematics, a quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of the second degree. The general form is : where a≠ 0. (For if a = 0, the equation becomes a linear equation.) The letters a, b, and c are called coefficients: the quadratic coefficient a is the coefficient of x2, the linear coefficient b is the coefficient of x, and c is the constant coefficient, also called the free term or constant term. Quadratic equations are called quadratic because quadratus is Latin for "square"; in the leading term the variable is squared. A quadratic equation with real or complex coefficients has two (not necessarily distinct) solutions, called roots, which may or may not be real, given by the quadratic formula: : where the symbol "±" indicates that both : and are solutions.
