Quadratic equations formula
x = (−b + √(b2 − 4ac)) /2a x = −b − √(b2 − 4ac) /2a
Expression b² - 4ac (also called discriminant of a quadratic equation) if less than 0 then the roots are
Not real
If the discriminante of a quadratic equation is a perfect square then the roots are
Unequal rational roots.
If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is 0 , then the roots are
Equal.
Each root = -b/2a
If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is more than 0 , then the roots are
Distinct and unequal roots.
