What else can I help you with?
What is true about a quadratic if the discriminant is negative?
There are two complex solutions.
What is true of an equation if its discriminant is zero?
it has one real solution
If the discriminant of an equation is zero is true of the equation?
That its roots (solutions) are coincident.
What is true of the discriminant when the two real number solutions to a quadratic equation are rational numbers?
The discriminant must be a perfect square or a square of a rational number.
What type of description is true of the discriminant for the graph below?
To accurately describe the discriminant for the graph, one would need to examine the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation represented by the graph. If the graph intersects the x-axis at two distinct points, the discriminant is positive. If it touches the x-axis at one point, the discriminant is zero. If the graph does not intersect the x-axis at all, the discriminant is negative.

If the discriminant of a quadratic equation equals zero what is true of the equation?
It has one real solution.
What has no true roots?
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
What is true about a quadratic equation when the discriminant of the equation is positive?
It will then have 2 different roots If the discriminant is zero than it will have have 2 equal roots
What does the discriminant tell you?
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
If the discriminant of an equation is positive.What is true of the equation?
The equation has two real solutions.
How do you tell if a discriminant is positive negative or zero?
With the standard notation, If b2 < 4ac then the discriminant is negative If b2 = 4ac then the discriminant is zero If b2 > 4ac then the discriminant is positive
How do you find how many x intercepts the parabola has using the discriminant?
If the discriminant is negative, there are 0 interceptsIf the discriminant is zero, there is 1 interceptIf the discriminant is positive, there are 2 intercepts
