What is the discriminant?
b²-4ac. It tells us the number and types of solutions in a quadratic equation.
If the discriminant > 0, describe the solution set.
2 real
If the discriminant = 0, describe the solution set.
1 real (multiplicity of 2)
If the discriminant < 0, describe the solution set.
2 imaginary (conjugates of eachother)
What is the sum of the zeros equal to?
-b/a
What is the product of the zeros equal to?
c/a
