The Quadratic Formula and the Discriminant

The Discriminant will tell you the number of solutions you have.

Discriminant = b² - 4ac

If the discriminant is:

• positive , then you have 2 real solutions

• negative, then you have 2 imaginary solutions (no real)

• zero - then you have one solution (double root)
