Answer 1

A Quadratic Equation\[ax^2+bx+c=0\]
The Quadratic Formula\[x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\]

The Discriminant is \(\Delta =b^2-4ac\)

if \(\Delta=0\) there is only one solution to the quadratic equation
if \(\Delta>0\) there are two solutions
if \(\Delta <0\) the solutions are complex

Answer 2

because the square root of zero is zero,
there are two square roots of a positive number,
and the two complex square roots to a negative number
