QUADRATIC FORMULA

DISCRIMINANT
WHY USE THE QUADRATIC FORMULA?
 The quadratic formula allows you to solve any quadratic equation, even if you
cannot factor it.
 An important piece of the quadratic formula is what’s
under the radical: 𝒃𝟐 – 4ac
 This piece is called the discriminant. 𝑫 = 𝒃𝟐 −𝟒𝒂𝒄

WHY IS THE DISCRIMINANT IMPORTANT?

The discriminant tells you the number and types of answers

(roots) you will get. The discriminant can be +, –, or 0.

How to find the discriminant?
Step 1.Write first the
equation in standard
form.

𝒙𝟐 − 𝟒𝒙 + 𝟓 = 𝟎

Step 2: Identify
the value of a, b
and c.

𝒂 = 𝟏 𝒃 = −𝟒 𝒄 = 𝟓

Step 3: Substitute
these values to
D= 𝒃𝟐 – 4ac. 𝑫 = 𝒃𝟐 −𝟒𝒂𝒄

𝑫 = (−𝟒)𝟐 − 𝟒(𝟏)(𝟓)
𝑫 = 𝟏𝟔 − 𝟐𝟎

𝑫 = −𝟒
