  3. The quadratic graph y = ax2+bx +c In each of the diagrams below state whether (i) a>0 or a<0 (ii) b2-4ac<0or b2-4ac>0 orb2-4ac=0 Continued on next slide

  4. Using the Discriminant In the solution of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 the solutions are given by The quantity b2 - 4ac is important . It is called the discriminant. It can be used to tell what kind of roots the equation will have. The table on the next slide investigates this idea. Continued on next slide
