acb 42
InWhat can we say about ...
If it’s negative then it has no solutions---> cannot square root a negative number
If it’s zero then it only has only solution

The discriminant
acb 42 This is the discriminant of the equation ax2+bx+c=0

Using the discriminantThe discriminant can be used to give us important information about the roots of our quadratic.
The “roots” are basically our solutions when ax2+bx+c=0
Roots

Which is which?b2-4ac > 0b2-4ac < 0b2-4ac = 0
b2-4ac > 0
b2-4ac < 0
b2-4ac = 0

Using the discriminant
If b2-4ac > 0 Equation has two distinct roots.
If b2-4ac < 0 Equation has no real roots.
If b2-4ac = 0 Equation has repeated
roots.

How it is used - exampleCalculate the discriminant of 2x2+7x+7=0
and hence prove 2x2+7x+7 is always > 0a = [coefficient of
x2]b = [coefficient of x]c= [constant]
= 2= 7= 7
b2 - 4ac = 72 – (4 x 2 x 7) =49 - 56 = -7
If b2-4ac < 0 Equation has no real roots.
Therefore, doesn’t cross the x-axis and is always positive

How it is used - example
If b2-4ac > 0 Equation has two distinct roots.
For what values of ‘k’ does the equation 2x2 -3x+k=0 have real roots
a = [coefficient of x2]b = [coefficient of x]c= [constant]
= 2= -3= k
b2 - 4ac > 0(-3)2 – (4 x 2 x k) > 09 – 8k >09 > 8k
9/8 > kk < 9/8

Have a go
If b2-4ac < 0 Equation has no distinct roots.
For what values of ‘k’ does the equation 3x2 + 5x+k=0 have no real roots
a = [coefficient of x2]b = [coefficient of x]c= [constant]
= 3= 5= k
b2 - 4ac < 052 – (4 x 3 x k) < 025 – 12k < 025 < 12k
25/12 < kk > 25/12
