If there is a local minimum of a given equation, how do you find the value of the discriminant at that point?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the local minimum at zero?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the formula for find discriminant?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is sqrt(b^2-4ac)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's the three space equivalent of that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if discriminant is positive it means you have two more more solution 0 if only one sol negative if no solution(imaginary number)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

couldn't the discriminant always be either positive or negative if it is not 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is for discriminate formula for (I think) multi variable function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Fxx(a,b)*Fyy(a,b)-Fxy(a,b)^2

Thank you! You're right, I think. In any case, that formula worked.
