A quadratic equation has one discriminant.
The equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 where a, b and c are real and a is non-zero has discriminant D = b^2 – 4ac. Then,if D > 0 the equation has two real roots which are distinct;if D = 0 the equation has two real roots which are coincident;if D < 0 the equation has two roots which form a complex conjugate pair (advanced mathematics only).
An equation with a discriminant that is less than zero. Note that in getting the discriminant, use the general form: ax²+bx+c=0 D=b²-4ac
The discriminant is -11.
If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is zero then it will have 2 equal roots. If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is greater than zero then it will have 2 different roots. If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is less than zero then it will have no roots.
