    Q1W3: Characterizes the roots of a quadratic equation using the discriminant


    (M9AL-Ic-1)
    Lesson 7.0: Nature of the Roots of Quadratic Equation

    THE NATURE OF THE ROOTS OF


    QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

    The nature of the roots of quadratic


    equation can be determined by the
    DISCRIMINANT.
    DISCRIMINANT

    NATURE OF THE ROOTS

     If the discriminant is ZERO, the roots are real, rational and equal.

     If the discriminant is POSITIVE and a perfect square, then the roots are real,
    rational and unequal.

     If the discriminant is POSITIVE and not a perfect square, then the


    roots are unequal and irrational.

     If the discriminant is NEGATIVE, then the roots are not real or


    imaginary.
    EXAMPLE #1: Describe the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation

    Identify the value of a, b and c


    STEP #1
    a = 1; b = -4; c = 4
    Solve for the discriminant using the formula:

    D = b2 – 4ac

    D = (-4)2 – 4(1)(4)

    STEP #2 D = 16 – 4(4)

    D = 16 – 16

    D=0

    Describe the nature of roots

    STEP #3 Since the discriminant is zero, then the nature of the


    roots of can be described as REAL,
    RATIONAL & EQUAL.

    EXAMPLE #2: Describe the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation

    Identify the value of a, b and c


    STEP #1
    a = 1; b = 7; c = 10

    Solve for the discriminant using the formula:

    D = b2 – 4ac

    D = (7)2 – 4(1)(10)

    STEP #2 D = 49 – 4(10)

    D = 49 – 40

    D=9
    Describe the nature of roots

    STEP #3 Since the discriminant is POSITIVE and 9 is a


    PERFECT SQUARE, then the nature of the roots of
    can be described as REAL,
    RATIONAL & UNEQUAL.

    EXAMPLE #3: Describe the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation

    Identify the value of a, b and c


    STEP #1
    a = 1; b = 2; c = -5

    Solve for the discriminant using the formula:

    D = b2 – 4ac

    D = (2)2 – 4(1)(-5)

    STEP #2 D = 4 – 4(-5)
    The sign changes from negative to
    D = 4 + 20
    positive since -4(-5) = +20

    D = 24

    Describe the nature of roots

    STEP #3 Since the discriminant is POSITIVE and 24 is a NOT


    PERFECT SQUARE, then the nature of the roots of
    can be described as REAL,
    IRRATIONAL & UNEQUAL.

    EXAMPLE #3: Describe the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation

    Identify the value of a, b and c


    STEP #1
    a = 3; b = 2; c = 2
    Solve for the discriminant using the formula:

    D = b2 – 4ac

    D = (2)2 – 4(3)(2)

    STEP #2 D = 4 – 4(6)

    D = 4 - 24

    D = -20

    Describe the nature of roots

    STEP #3 Since the discriminant is NEGATIVE, then the nature


    of the roots of can be described as
    NOT REAL or IMAGINARY.
