2.5 Discriminant

If you square any real number, the result is greater than or equal to 0. This means that if y is negative, √y cannot be a real number. For the quadratic equation f(x) = ax² + bx + c the expression b² - 4ac is called the discriminant. In this section you learn about discriminant , value of the discriminant changes with the value of k, use the discriminant to find values of a given constant

If you're a student in a school/college that's based in England, you might be entitled for full access to our eLearning platform where you can access to all our tutorial videos and practice questions.

Please check with the head of Maths or deputy headteacher at your school/college to request access if they've already registered to our free pilot subscription. They can always reach us at the below email:
