    The Nature of Roots of Quadratic Equations

    Uploaded by

    Marlon Ellamil
    The document discusses the discriminant of a quadratic equation and how it determines the nature of the roots. The discriminant is the expression b^2 - 4ac under the square root in the quadratic formula. If the discriminant is positive, the roots are real and unequal. If the discriminant is zero, the roots are real and equal. If the discriminant is negative, the roots are imaginary and unequal. The document also notes that the sum and product of the roots can be determined from the quadratic equation.

    LEARNING COMPETENCY:
    CHARACTERIZE THE ROOTS OF A
    QUADRATIC EQUATION USING THE
    DISCRIMINANT
    REVIEW:
    • What is the standard form of quadratic
    equation?
    • What are the four methods in solving
    quadratic equation?
    • What is the formula of quadratic
    equation?
    QUADRATIC FORMULA:

    •  
    2
    −𝑏 ± √ 𝑏 −4 𝑎𝑐
    𝑥=
    2𝑎
    •  
    The expression is called the
    discriminant. The discriminant provides
    information regarding the nature of the
    roots of the quadratic equation.

    Discriminant comes from the Latin word


    discrimen which means to distinguish.
    NATURE OF ROOTS
    i. If D>0, real and unequal
    - If D is perfect square, rational
    - If D is not a perfect square, irrational
    ii. If D=0, real and equal
    iii. If D<0, imaginary and unequal
