What is the discriminant if the point on the graph is (3,0) ??
do you mean the vertex is (3,0)?
yes
do you need exact number of discriminant? I can say only that is \[D\geq0\]
if it's vertex then answer is D=0
if the vertex is (3,0) then the discriminant is 0
how do we know that?
what tomas said means it is a perfect square i.e. \[y=(x-3)^2\] perhaps
oh ok
if the vertex is on the x-axis, that means there is only one zero
if y=0 and it's vertex it means that quadratic equation would have only 1 solution, and when it has only 1 solution discriminant is 0
and quadratic formula tells you the zeros are \[x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\] if this is only one number and not two, it means \[b^2-4ac=0\]
Ok thankx guyz
@thomas did you figure out that pythgoras thing? because ten is not the hypotenuse of a primitive triple
