How Do You Find The Discriminant of a Quadratic Equation With 1 Solution?
Note:
In a quadratic equation, the discriminant helps tell you the number of real solutions to a quadratic equation. In this tutorial, see how to find the discriminant of a quadratic equation and use it to determine the number of solutions!
Background Tutorials
-
Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x^2 = 49), taking square roots, completing the square, the quadratic formula and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation. Recognize when the quadratic formula gives complex solutions and write them as a ± bi for real numbers a and b.
