If the quadratic equation is in standard form, the discriminant of a quadratic equation is b2 – 4ac, the part of the equation under the radical sign. Recall that quadratic equations can have two, one, or no real solutions. You can determine the number of solutions of a quadratic equation by evaluating its discriminant.
