To calculate discriminant: \[\Large D = b^2-4ac\]

The discriminant in a quadratic equation is found by b² − 4ac. Since you are given a quadratic equation this can be used. A quadratic equation is an equation which can be written as: ax ² + bx + c where a ≠ 0 Find the corresponding values of a, b, and c from the quadratic equation and plug them into the formula for the discriminant.
