A quadratic equation can have two solutions, one solution, or no real solutions, depending on its discriminant (the part of the quadratic formula under the square root). If the discriminant is positive, there are two distinct real solutions; if it is zero, there is exactly one real solution (a repeated root); and if it is negative, there are no real solutions, only complex ones. Thus, a quadratic equation does not always have two solutions.
It is a quadratic equation that normally has two solutions
A quadratic equation can have either two real solutions or no real solutions.
One of its terms will be squared and it will have two solutions.
Two distinct real solutions.
Normally it has two solutions but sometimes the solutions can be the same.
It is a quadratic equation that normally has two solutions
The two solutions are coincident.
A quadratic equation can have either two real solutions or no real solutions.
If the discriminant of b2-4ac of the quadratic equation is greater the 0 then it will have 2 solutions.
The quadratic equation will have two solutions.
A quadratic equation always has TWO (2) solutions. They may be different, the same, or non-existant as real numbers (ie they only exist as complex numbers).
One of its terms will be squared and it will have two solutions.
Normally it has two solutions but sometimes the solutions can be the same.
Two distinct real solutions.
It will then have two equal real solutions
They will have 2 different solutions or 2 equal solutions and some times none depending on the value of the discriminant within the quadratic equation
In the graph of a quadratic equation, the plotted points form a parabola. This parabola usually intersects the X axis at two different points. Those two points are also the two solutions for the quadratic equation. Alternatively: Quadratic equations are formed by multiplying two linear equations together. Each of the linear equations has one solution - multiplying two together means that the solution for either is also a solution for the quadratic equation - hence you get two possible solutions for the quadratic unless both linear equations have exactly the same solution. Example: Two linear equations : x - a = 0 x - b = 0 Multiplied together: (x - a) ( x - b ) = 0 Either a or b is a solution to this quadratic equation. Hence most often you have two solutions but never more than two and always at least one solution.
