I am assuming that "an algebra equation" refers to a quadratic equation and not a higher polynomial.
For a quadratic equation of the form y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b and c are real numbers and a is non-zero, the discriminant is b^2 – 4ac.
Because the square root of the discriminant is a component of the roots of the equation.
A quadratic equation has one discriminant.
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.

Because the square root of the discriminant is a component of the roots of the equation.
By calculating the discriminant of the equation and if it's negative the equation will have no solutions
If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is zero then it has two identical roots.
A quadratic equation has one discriminant.
If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is less then 0 then it will have no real solutions.

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.
The discriminant tells you how many solutions there are to an equation The discriminant is b2-4ac For example, two solutions for a equation would mean the discriminant is positive. If it had 1 solution would mean the discriminant is zero If it had no solutions would mean that the discriminant is negative
The term "discriminant" is usually used for quadratic equations. If the discriminant is zero, then the equation has exactly one solution.
A discriminant is based on the differences between roots of an equation. A linear equation, such as the onle in the question, has only one root and therefore cannot have a discriminant.
The discriminant is 33.
The discriminant is -11.
