What is the discriminant of the polynomial below?
That depends on the values of the polynomial but in general:- If the discriminant is greater than zero it has 2 solutions If the discriminant is equal to zero then it has 2 equal solutions If the discriminant is less than zero it has no solutions
What is the degree of this polynomial 3x2 - 4x plus 9?
The degree of this polynomial is 2.
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
What is the degree of this polynomial 3x to the 2nd power - 4x plus 9?
The highest power of the variable is 2, so it is a second degree polynomial.
What are 3 outcomes for the discriminant?
If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is zero then it has equal roots. If the discriminant is greater than zero then there are two different roots. If the discriminant is less than zero then there are no real roots.
