How to find how many real solutions an equation has


Asked by admin @ in Mathematics viewed by 299 People


Where do I find the “solution” do a quadratic equation on a graph? How many possible real solutions are there when you solve a quadratic equation?

Answered by admin @



Answer:

Q1. The solution for the quadratic equation on a graph is same as the value of x-intercept(zeros)

Q2. discriminant(b^2-4ac) when y=ax^2 + bx + c

there are 3 situations:

1. discriminant > 0 → 2 real solutions(2 x-intercepts/zeros)

2. discriminant = 0 → 1 real solution(1 x-intercept/zero)

3. discriminant < 0 → 0 real solution(0 x-intercept/zero) → also 2 imaginary solution

Hope it helped!
