Solving Equations Using the Quadratic Formula
You can use the Quadratic Formula to solve any quadratic equation.
If you do not see an easy way to factor a quadratic equation, use the formula.
The discriminant is the radicand in the Quadratic Formula. Use it to determine the number of real roots of a particular quadratic equation.
If the discriminant is positive, the equation has 2 real roots.
If the discriminant is 0, it has one rational root.
If the discriminant is negative, it has no real roots.
