What does formula mean in mathematical terms?
A mathematical formula is a statement which, given all but one of a set of variables, allows you to calculate the possible value(s) of the missing variable. Many formulae will give single solutions but the quadratic formula, for example, usually has two solutions.
How many total solutions are there to any quadratic equation?
2
How many real solutions does a quadratic equation have if its discriminant is zero?
It will then have two equal real solutions
A positive discriminant means the quadratic equation will have how many solutions?
Two distinct real solutions.
The discriminant determines how many solutions a quadratic equation will have and whether they are real or?
imaginary
How many real solutions does a quadratic equation have if its discriminant is negative?
The quadratic has no real solutions.
What is the quadratic formula for?
The quadratic formula is used to solve the quadratic equation. Many equations in which the variable is squared can be written as a quadratic equation, and then solved with the quadratic formula.
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.
How many solutions to a quadratic equation?

What is the difference between quadratic function and quadratic formula?
A quadratic function is a function where a variable is raised to the second degree (2). Examples would be x2, or for more complexity, 2x2+4x+16. The quadratic formula is a way of finding the roots of a quadratic function, or where the parabola crosses the x-axis. There are many ways of finding roots, but the quadratic formula will always work for any quadratic function. In the form ax2+bx+c, the Quadratic Formula looks like this: x=-b±√b2-4ac _________ 2a The plus-minus means that there can 2 solutions.
In general how many distinct solutions are there to a quadratic equation?
the maximum number of solutions to a quadratic equation is 2. However, usually there is only 1.
Most quadratic equations have how many solutions?

How many solutions does a quadratic equation have when it is expressed in the form of ax2 plus bx plus c0 where a does not 0?
Assuming a, b, and c are real numbers, there are three possibilities for the solutions, depending on whether the discriminant - the square root part in the quadratic formula - is positive, zero, or negative:Two real solutionsOne ("double") real solutionTwo complex solutions
