The discriminant is \({b^2} - 4ac\), which comes from the quadratic formula and we can use this to find the nature of the roots. Roots can occur in a parabola in 3 different ways as shown in the ...

What type of roots the equation has can be shown by the discriminant. The discriminant for a quadratic equation \(a{x^2} + bx + c = 0\) is \({b^2} - 4ac\). And the types of root the equation has ...
