Question

Discriminant of graph?

Answer 1

When taking a discriminant, if the result is positive, you have TWO REAL solutions, if it is 0 you have ONE REAL solution, if it is any negative number, you have no solutions.

Answer 2

@owikbenstan how do you find or solve for the discriminant?

Answer 3

In this case, I will tell you that you do not need to do any math for the answer, however for future reference, the discriminant is \[\sqrt{b^2-4ac}\]

Answer 4

@owikbenstan so would my answer be Positive? and thanks :)

Answer 5

Yes, because this graph has TWO X-Intercepts (roots / zeros) this means that it factors into TWO REAL numbers.

Answer 6

got it thanks!
