Discriminant – the (b² - 4ac) in the quadratic formula
- The value of (b² - 4ac) tells how many solutions or x-intercepts the quadratic equation will have.
- If (b² - 4ac) > 0, there are two real solutions or x-intercepts.
- If (b² - 4ac) = 0, there is one real solution or x-intercept.
- If (b² - 4ac) < 0, there are no real solutions or x-intercepts.
