What is the discriminant of a quadratic function?

The form of the quadratic is ax2+bx+c, so the discriminant is b2-4ac.


How do you find the discriminant of a function?

To find the discriminant of a quadratic function, first express it in descending powers, thusax^2 + bx + c = 0 where a, b and c are real and a is non-zero.Then the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac


What is the value of the discriminant in 2x2-10x plus 3?

2x2 + 10x - 3 The discriminant is defined as b2 - 4ac, so for this function b=10, a=2, and c=-3 So the discriminant is 100-4*2*-3 = 124


How do you know if a quadratic function is factorrable or not?

If its discriminant is less than zero it can't be factored.


How do you use the discriminant to find the number and type of zeros of a function?

If the discriminant is positive, then the function has two real zeros. If it is zero, then the function has one real zero. If it is negative, then it has two complex conjugate zeros.This assumes that we are talking about a standard second order polynomial equation, i.e. quadratic equation, in the form Ax2 + Bx + C = 0, and that the discriminant is B2 - 4AC, which is a part of the standard solution of these kind of equations.


Given the function below what is the value of the discriminant and how many times does the graph of this function intersect or touch the x-axis?

Discriminant = 116; Graph crosses the x-axis two times


If the discriminant is negative the graph of a quadratic function will cross or touch the x-axis time s?

If the discriminant is negative, the equation has no real solution - in the graph, the parabola won't cross the x-axis.


How many real solutions does a quadratic function have when the value of its discriminant is seven?

If the discriminant is positive, as in this case, there are two real solutions.Also: * If the discriminant is zero, there is one real solution, considered to be a "double solution" because of the way polynomials are factored. * If the discriminant is negative, there are two complex solutions, which are complex and non-real.


How many times will the graph of a quadratic function cross or touch the x axis if the discriminant is zero?

Once.


What is the discriminant of x2 plus 3x plus 8 equals 0?

The discriminant formula. b2 - 4ac 32 - 4(1)(8) 9 - 32 = - 23 ===========This shows no real roots to this function.


What determines if a quadratic function has no x-intercepts?

If the quadratic function is written as ax2 + bx + c, then it has no x-intercepts if the discriminant, (b2 - 4ac), is negative.


If the discriminant is zero the graph of a quadric function will cross or touch the x axis how many times?

It will touch it once.
