Understanding the Discriminant Date________________ Period____

Find the value of the discriminant of each quadratic equation.

1) 6 p 2 − 2 p − 3 = 0 2) −2 x 2 − x − 1 = 0

3) −4m 2 − 4m + 5 = 0 4) 5b 2 + b − 2 = 0

5) r 2 + 5r + 2 = 0 6) 2 p 2 + 5 p − 4 = 0

Find the discriminant of each quadratic equation then state the numberof real and imaginary solutions.
