What is the discriminant and how is it related to the Quadratic Formula?

The discriminant is the part of the quadratic formula that informs us how many solutions the quadratic equation will have.

Understanding the value of the discriminant is important

when solving A quadratic.

Formula: D = b²− 4ac Reminder: Ax²+ bx+C

-a positive answer = 2 real roots

-a zero answer = 1 real root

-a negative answer = no real roots
