Given a quadratic equation use the discriminant to determine the nature of the roots.

The Discriminant

What is the discriminant? The discriminant is the expression b 2 – 4ac. The value of the discriminant can be used to determine the number and type of roots of a quadratic equation.

Let’s put all of that information in a chart. Value of Discriminant Type and Number of Roots D > 0, D is a perfect square rational roots and not equal D > 0, D NOT a perfect square Irrational roots and not equal D = 0rational root and equal D < 0NOT REAL

Solve These… Use the quadratic formula and discriminant to solve each of the following equations? 1.x 2 – 5x – 14 = 0 2.2x 2 + x – 5 = 0 3.x 2 – 10x + 25 = 0 4.4x 2 – 9x + 7 = 0

Let’s evaluate the first equation. x 2 – 5x – 14 = 0 What number is under the radical when simplified? 81 What are the solutions of the equation? –2 and 7

If the value of the discriminant is positive, the equation will have 2 real roots. If the value of the discriminant is a perfect square, the roots will be rational.

Let’s look at the second equation. 2x 2 + x – 5 = 0 What number is under the radical when simplified? 41 What are the solutions of the equation?

If the value of the discriminant is positive, the equation will have 2 real roots. If the value of the discriminant is a NOT perfect square, the roots will be irrational.

Now for the third equation. x 2 – 10x + 25 = 0 What number is under the radical when simplified? 0 What are the solutions of the equation? 5 (double root)

If the value of the discriminant is zero, the equation will have 1 real, root; it will be a double root. If the value of the discriminant is 0, the roots will be rational.

Last but not least, the fourth equation. 4x 2 – 9x + 7 = 0 What number is under the radical when simplified? –31 What are the solutions of the equation?

If the value of the discriminant is negative, the equation will have 2 complex roots; they will be complex conjugates.

Try These. For each of the following quadratic equations, a)Find the value of the discriminant, and b)Describe the number and type of roots. 1.x x + 49 = 03. 3x 2 + 8x + 11 = 0 2. x 2 + 5x – 2 = 04. x 2 + 5x – 24 = 0

The Answers 1.x x + 49 = 0 D = 0 1 real, rational root (double root) 2. x 2 + 5x – 2 = 0 D = 33 2 real, irrational roots 3. 3x 2 + 8x + 11 = 0 D = –68 2 complex roots (complex conjugates) 4. x 2 + 5x – 24 = 0 D = real, rational roots
