You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that's the expression within the square root sign of the quadratic formula.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the discriminant is 0, then you have 1 real solution.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the discriminant is negative, then you have 2 complex solutions (not real).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the discriminant is positive, then you have 2 real solutions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the discriminant is positive and a perfect square, then you have 2 real solutions that are rational.\r
