NATURE OF ROOTS OF
QUADRATIC EQUATION
Objectives
At the end of this lesson, the students are expected to:

a. identifies the nature of roots of a given quadratic

equation;

b. describes the nature of roots of a quadratic

equation through its discriminant;

c. value the importance of discriminant through the

roots of the quadratic equation.
Group Activity
Boys vs. Girls
Direction: Find the roots of the quadratic eaquation
using quadratic formula. Boys group will answer #1 and
girls group will answer the #2. The groups have 5
minutes to answer and choose a representative to
present their answer.
1. 2.
Questions from the activity:

1. What is the standard form of the quadratic equation?

2. What is the formula for quadratic formula?

3. What is the formula of a discriminant?

4. Why do we need to determine the discriminant

of the quadratic equation?
 WHY USE THE QUADRATIC FORMULA?

 The quadratic formula allows you to solve ANY quadratic

equation, even if you cannot factor it.
 An important piece of the quadratic formula is what’s under the radical:
b2 – 4ac
 This piece is called the discriminant.
???
WHY IS THE DISCRIMINANT IMPORTANT?

The value of the expression – 4ac is

called the discriminant of the quadratic
equation ax² + bx + c = 0. This value can be
used to describe the nature of the roots
of a quadratic equation. It can be zero,
positive and perfect square, positive but
not perfect square or negative.
