Calculate Discriminant

What is the discriminant and how is it related to the Quadratic Formula?

By Elle Greene

The discriminant ​tells you the number of solution of a quadratic formula.

​Memorizing the value of the discriminant will help you before solving the full quadratic.

the discriminat is the numeratior of the radical expression.​

Formula: D = b² − 4ac Reminder: Ax² + bx+C

Use the formula from the previous slide to see if ​you can find the discriminant.

Let's see if you understood.....​
