how do you if a graph has a discriminent of zero?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will it only touch the x-axis once?

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

a quadratic function with a disriminant 0..(meaning only 1 repeated real solution @ f(x)=0)... will have vertex on x-axis

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

yes... and that will have to be the vertex

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so this graph is an example of a discriminent of 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

yes ... \[y=(x-1)^2 \] is an example of that

thank you
