OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is a discriminant?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's b²-4ac?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discriminant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so se have (X+7).(X+3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you find it now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, i have no idea what to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equation of that graph is(x+7).(x+3)=x²+10.x+21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so delta =16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, well im telling you, i suck at math, and i am still clueless... how did you get that? can you explain it so i can learn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-7 and - 3 are roots of the grapg so we can write this in that form,if you put a -7 in our equation that will give us a zero (-7+7).(-7+3)=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, actually I do, thank you
