Write the discriminant of quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0

Sagot :

Hi!

In any quadratic in the form you have given ([tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]), the discriminant is ALWAYS

[tex]b^2-4ac[/tex]

Given the quadratic formula:

[tex]x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The discriminant would be the part of the equation that is under the square root.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Therefore, your answer is [tex]b^2-4ac[/tex]
