If an equation has a positive discriminant, how many times will the graph touch the x–axis?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

twice. positive discriminant means it has two real zeros. so it crosses the x - axis twice, that is where it is zero

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

lol, Good question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

assume it is quadratic, otherwise "discriminant" doesn't really make any sense
