Today I decided to do my blog post about how to find the discriminant in a quadratic equation. The discriminant is used to find if an equation has 2 solutions or no solutions. An equation can have no solution if the discriminant is negative and if the discriminant is positive it has 2 real solutions. And if the equation is not equal to zero then you have to rearrange it so it will equal to zero. I did my example with that kind of quadratic equation. Then when you rearrange it you substitute the variables with the numbers given and then you calculate your discriminant and see how many solutions. It was the easiest for me to do because it didn’t involve a lot of steps or any factoring.

My example that I chose to complete and show the steps how to do it.
