You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Here is an example.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%28x%2B5%29%5E2\"$ would have just the vertex touching the x axis and the point is (-5,0).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%28x%2B5%29%5E2%2B1%2F4\"$ has NO zeros and the vertex neither will touch the x-axis, this point being (-5,(1/4)). What is the discriminant of this graph and equation?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=x%5E2%2B10x%2B25%2B1%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=x%5E2%2B10x%2B25%261%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Discriminant $\"%2810%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A%2825%261%2F4%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"100-101\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-1\"$ ----------a negative number. \n" ); document.write( "
