  7. 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 ax2 + bx+ c = 0 is the value of the expression b2 – 4ac. Discriminant

  8. Is this possible? If so, what are the possible answers? Using the discriminant

  9. Example 5: using the discriminant • Determine the type and number of solutions.
