The Discriminant of the quadratic formula

Question 1

What is the discriminant of the quadratic formula?

Answer 1

b²-4ac (the bit under the square root)

Question 2

If the discriminant is >0 then the question will say either…

Answer 2

2 x intercepts,
2 distinct roots 
Or
2 real roots 
(The graph touches the x axis in two places)

Question 3

If the discriminant is =0 then the question will say either…

Answer 3

One real root,
One solution,
Repeated roots,
Unique solution,
Or
Equal roots
(The graph touches the x axis only once)

Question 4

If the discriminant is <0 then the question will say either…

Answer 4

No solutions or no real roots

The graph doesn’t touch the x axis at all

Question 5

If the discriminant is less than or equal to 0 then the question will say…

Answer 5

“Real roots” because it’s not clear if there is 2 roots or if there is one
(The graph could touch the x axis twice or it could touch it only once)
