For any quadratic polynomial equation of the form:



Find the Discriminant, and evaluate the nature of the roots as follows:

No calculation quick look: If the signs on and are opposite, then guaranteed.

Two real and unequal roots. If is a perfect square, the quadratic factors over (the rationals).

One real root with a multiplicity of two. That is to say that the trinomial is a perfect square and has two identical factors. Presuming rational coefficients, the root will be rational as well.

A conjugate pair of complex roots of the form where is the imaginary number defined by
