The Quadratic Formula 4-7
Vocabulary Quadratic Formula: Quadratic Formula: the roots (solutions) are exactly the x-intercepts of the quadratic function, that is the intersection between the graph of the quadratic function with the x-axis.
Discriminant The discriminant of a quadratic equation in the form of is the value of the expression
Discriminant Positive Zero Negative 2 real solutions /roots/ x-intercepts 1 real solution /root/ x-intercept 0 real solutions /roots/ x-intercepts
1) Find the Discriminant. Determine the number of real solutions. The discriminant is positive. The equations has two real solutions.
2) T.O.O. - Find the Discriminant. Determine the number of real solutions. -4, No Real Solutions -23, No real solutions
3) What are the solutions? Use the Quadratic formula.
4) What are the solutions? Use the Quadratic formula. or
5) T.O.O. - What are the solutions? Use the Quadratic formula.
