  • 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.
