In everyday operations or daily life activities, we come across situations where
quantities such as fare, cost of daily commodities, salary, gains and losses, prizes of things
we usually buy, time, tuition, rent, and many others that affects our daily routines and
sometimes asked ourselves what can we do to make things easier for us? Would it be lighter
for problems to be easily solve? Did some of us think that these quantities can be
mathematically represented? And that could beneficially help us in making decisions?

What Is It
We have already studied the quadratic formula,
x √ 2 – 4a
2a
The binomial inside the radical sign is called the discriminant. It is used to
determine the nature of the roots of a quadratic equation. We can also determine the number of real roots for a quadratic equation with this number. The following table will give us the relation between the discriminant and the nature of the roots.
4
Discriminant Nature of the Roots Number of real
roots
b2 – 4ac = 0 Real and Equal 1
b2 – 4ac > 0 and a perfect square Rational and Unequal 2
b2 – 4ac < 0 but not a perfect square Irrational and Unequal 2
b2- 4ac < 0 Imaginary/No Real
Roots None
We will discuss here about the different cases of discriminant to understand the nature of the roots of a quadratic equation.
We know that x1 and x2 are the roots of the general form of the quadratic equation
ax2 x 0 where (a ≠ 0) then we get
x1 √ 2 – 4a
2a an x2
– √ 2 –4a
2a
Here a, b and c are real and rational.
Then, the nature of the roots x1 and x2 of equation depends on the quantity or expression i.e., b2 – 4ac under the radical sign.
Thus, the expression b2 – 4ac is called the discriminant of
the quadratic equation .
Generally we denote discriminant of the quadratic equation y ‘∆‘ or ‘D’.
Therefore, Dis riminant ∆ 2 4ac.
Depending on the discriminant we shall discuss the following cases about the
nature of roots x1 and x2 of the quadratic equation .
When a, b and c are real numbers, a ≠ 0
Case I: b2 – 4ac = 0
When a, b and c are real numbers, a ≠ 0 an discriminant is zero (i.e., b2 4ac =
0), then the roots x1 and x2 of the quadratic equation are real and equal. Example 1:
Find the discriminant value of x2 –12x + 36 = 0 and determine the number of real roots. Solution:
Step 1: Identify the values of a, b and c.
The given equation is x2 – 12x + 36 = 0. The equation is in the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 where,
a = 1 b = -12 and c = 36
5
Step 2: Substitute the values of a, b and c to the Discriminant = b2 4ac Discriminant = b2 4ac
= (-12)2 4(1)(36) = 144 144 = 0 Step 3: Describe the nature of the roots.
Since the discriminant value of the equation is zero then the equation x2 – 12x + 36 = 0 has a double root and the roots are real and are equal.
This can be checked by determining the roots of x2 – 12x + 36 = 0 using
any of the methods of solving quadratic equations. If factoring is used, the roots that can be obtained are the following: The roots of the quadratic equation x2 – 12x + 36 = 0 are real numbers and are equal.
Example 2: Find the nature of the roots of the equation x2 – 18x + 81 = 0.
Solution:
The coefficients of the equation x2 – 18x + 81 = 0 are rational.
The discriminant of the given equation is Discriminant = b2 4ac
= (-18)2 4(1)(81) = 324 – 324 = 0
Clearly, the discriminant of the given quadratic equation is zero and coefficient of x2 and x are rational.
Therefore, the roots of the given quadratic equation are real and equal.
To check, solve for the roots of x2 – 18x + 81 = 0.
Case II: b2 - 4ac > 0 and perfect square
When a, b and c are real numbers, a ≠ 0 an is riminant is positive an perfe t
square, then the roots x1 and x2 of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 are real, rational, unequal.
x2 – 12x + 36 = 0
(x – 6) (x – 6) = 0
x – 6 = 0 x – 6 = 0
x = 6 x = 6
(a double root)
x2 – 12x + 36 = 0
(x – 9) (x – 9) = 0
x – 9 = 0 x – 9 = 0
x = 9 x = 9
6
Example 3: Find the discriminant value for the equation x2 + 5x + 6 = 0 and determine the
number of real roots. Solution:
Step 1: Identify the values of a, b and c.
The given equation is x2 + 5x + 6 = 0. The equation is in the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 where,
a = 1 b = 5 and c = 6
Step 2: Substitute the values of a, b and c to the Discriminant ∆ = b2 4ac
Discriminant = b2 4ac
= (5)2 4(1)(6)
= 25 24 = 1 Step 3: Describe the nature of the roots.
Since the discriminant value of the equation is greater than 0 and a perfect square, then there are two real roots of the equation x2 + 5x + 6 = 0 and the roots are rational numbers but not equal.
This can be checked by determining the roots x2 + 5x + 6 = 0 using any of the methods of solving quadratic equations. If factoring is used, the roots that can be obtained are the following:
The roots of the quadratic equation x2 +5x + 6 = 0 are -3 and -2.
Example 4: Find the nature of the roots of the equation 3x2 – 10x + 3 = 0 without actually solving them.
Solution:
The coefficients of the equation 3x2 – 10x + 3 = 0 are rational.
The discriminant of the given equation is Discriminant = b2 4ac
= (-10)2 4(3)(3) = 100 – 36 = 64
Clearly, the discriminant of the given quadratic equation is positive and a perfect square.
Therefore, the roots of the given quadratic equation are rational and unequal.
To check, solve for the roots of 3x2 – 10x + 3 = 0.
x2 + 5x + 6 = 0
(x + 3) (x + 2) = 0
x + 3 = 0 x + 2 = 0
x = -3 x = -2
7
Case III: b2 – 4ac > 0 and not perfect square
When a, b and c are real numbers, a ≠ 0 an is riminant is positive (i.e., b2 – 4ac>0) but not a perfect square then the roots of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 are real, irrational and unequal. Here the roots x1 and x2 form a pair of irrational conjugates.
Example 5: Describe the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation 2x2 – 8x + 3 = 0.
Solution:
The coefficients of the equation 2x2 – 8x + 3 = 0 are rational.
The discriminant of the given equation is
Discriminant = b2 4ac = (-8)2 4(2)(3)
= 64 – 24 = 40
Clearly, the discriminant of the given quadratic equation is positive but not a perfect square.
Therefore, the roots of the given quadratic equation are irrational and unequal.
To check, solve for the roots of 2x2 – 8x + 3 = 0 using the quadratic equation.

x 1

Case IV: b2 - 4ac < 0
When a, b and c are real numbers, a ≠ 0 and discriminant is negative (b2 - 4ac < 0), then the roots x1 and x2 of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 are unequal and imaginary. Here the roots x1 and x2 are a pair of the complex conjugates. Example 6:
Find the discriminant value 2x2 + x + 3 = 0 and determine the number of real roots. Solution:
Step 1: Identify the values of a, b and c.
The given equation is 2x2 + x + 3 = 0. The equation is in the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 where,
a = 2 b = 1 and c = 3
Step 2: Substitute the values of a, b and c to the Discriminant = b2 4ac Discriminant = b2 4ac
= (1)2 4(2)(3) = 1 24
= 23 Step 3: Describe the nature of the roots.
Since the discriminant value of the equation is less than zero then the equation 2x2 + x + 3 = 0 has no real roots or imaginary. Also, the graph of this equation does not touch the x-axis. To check, solve for the roots of 2x2 + x + 3 = 0 using the quadratic formula.

Example 7: Describe the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation x2 + x + 1 = 0.
Solution:
The coefficients of the equation x2 + x + 1 = 0 are rational.

The discriminant of the given equation is Discriminant = b2 4ac
= (1)2 4(1)(1) = 1 – 4 = -3 Clearly, the discriminant of the given quadratic equation is negative.
Therefore, the roots of the given quadratic equation are imaginary and unequal. Thus, the roots of the given equation are a pair of complex conjugates.
To check, solve for the roots of x2 + x + 1 = 0 using the quadratic equation.

We have seen that the b2 – 4ac is the radicand of the quadratic formula, called the discriminant, can tell us the type of roots of a quadratic equation. The quadratic formula can also give us information about the relationship between the roots and the coefficient of the second term and the constant of the equation itself. Consider the following:
How did you find the values of the coefficients a, b, and c helpful in finding the sum and product of roots? Were you able to relate them? For example, you are solving for the quadratic equation given the sum and product of roots, will you be able to give the equation? To answer the following activities, you will now read and understand the importance of the sum and product of roots of the quadratic equations and the examples presented.
