Using the Discriminant In the solution of the quadratic equation ax 2 + bx + c = 0 the solutions are given by The quantity b 2 - 4 ac is important. It is called the discriminant. It can be used to tell what kind of roots the equation will have. The table on the next slide investigates this idea. Continued on next slide

You could use the graphic calculator for this work if you wish. Enter the function in Y 1. Press ZOOM and select 6: ZStandard Draw each graph and determine the number of roots the quadratic has. Enter the values of a , b and c and evaluate D. Examine the table carefully and make some conjectures about the connection between the value of b 2 - 4 ac and the number of roots of the corresponding quadratic equation.
