How would the discriminant be zero?

How many zeros?

Within that solution is the discriminant, , which came from starting the equation as perfect square equated to zero. The equation has EXACTLY ONE solution.

For quadratic functions with real coefficients, if its discriminant is 0, then there will still be two real zeros of identical values. (Remember, a quadratic function will always have two roots, or zeros, regardless of the nature of the coefficients. It just so happened that the zeros are of the same value.)
