What is the root of a parabola?
In analytical geometry, the roots of a parabola are the x-values (if any) for which y = 0.
What is a discriminant and how does help to solve equations?
In the quadratic formula, the discriminant is b2-4ac. If the discriminant is positive, the equation has two real solutions. If it equals zero, the equation has one real solution. If the discriminant is negative, it has two imaginary solutions. This is because you find the square root of the discriminant and add or subtract it from -b and divide the sum or difference by 2a. If the square root is of a positive number, then you get two different solutions, one from adding the discriminant to -b and one from subtracting the discriminant from -b. If the square root is of zero, then it equals zero, and the solution is -b/2a. If the square root is of a negative number, then you have two imaginary solutions because you can't take the square root of a negative number and get a real number. One solution is from subtracting the discriminant from -b and dividing by 2a, and the other is from adding it to -b and dividing by 2a. The parabola on the left has a positive discriminant. The parabola in the middle has a discriminant of zero. The parabola on the right has a negative discriminant.
Irrational numbers between 2 and 2.5?
There are infinitely many of them. They include square root of (4.41) square root of (4.42) square root of (4.43) square root of (4.44) square root of (4.45) square root of (5.3) square root of (5.762) square root of (6) square root of (6.1) square root of (6.2)
What is the difference between principal square root and perfect square root?
A principal square root is any square root that's answer is positive, and a perfect square root is a square root that's answer is an integer.
What is the square root of 20 in simplest form?
square root of 20 = square root of 4 * square root of 5. square root of 4 = 2, so your answer is 2 square root of 5.
