Notes 5-2Quadratic Formula and Discriminant Learning Target: I will solve quadratic equations by using the Quadratic Formula and use the discriminant to determine the number and type of roots of a quadratic equation.
There is a formula that can solve any quadratic equation. This formula is called the Quadratic Formula.
The expression is called the discriminant. The value of this can be used to determine the number and type of roots of a quadratic equation.
Find the value of the discriminant for each quadratic equation. Then describe the number and type of roots for the equation. Two Rational Roots 2. One Rational Root 3. Two Irrational Roots 4. Two Complex Roots
