How can you tell when a quadratic equation has two identical, rational solutions

OpenStudy (amistre64):

something called a determinant will equal 0 x = v +- d ; when d=0, x = v

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or is it the discriminant? they have to many d words they use

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought it was when the radicand = 0?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes, the inner part of the radicand is called the discriminant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok thanks (:

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i think they should multiple words that begin with "d" and are multisyllabic in order to not confuse us lol
