8. USING THE DISCRIMINANT Quadratic equations can have real or complex solutions. You can determine the type and number of solutions by finding the discriminant. The discriminant of a quadratic equation in the form ax 2 + bx + c = 0 is the value of the expression b 2 – 4ac. Discriminant

9. USING THE DISCRIMINANT Value of the DiscriminantType and Number of Solutions for ax 2 + bx + c =0 Examples of Graphs of Related Functions y = ax 2 + bx + c b 2 – 4ac > 0 Two real solutionsTwo x-intercepts b 2 – 4ac = 0 One real solutionOne x-intercept b 2 – 4ac < 0 No real solutionsNo x-intercepts Is this possible? If so, what are the possible answers?
