What is the relationship between the discriminant of a quadratic and its graph?

Mathematics

Answer:

In a quadratic equation of the shape:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

we hate that the discriminant is equal to:

D =  b^2 - 4*a*c

This thing appears in the Bhaskara's formula for the roots of the quadratic equation:

x = \frac{-b +-\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}

You can see that the determinant is inside a square root, this means that if D is smaller than zero we will have imaginary roots (the graph never touches the x-axis)

If D = 0, the square root term dissapear, and this implies that both roots of the equation are the same, this means that the graph touches the x axis in only one point, wich coincides with the minimum/maximum of the graph)

If D > 0 we have two different roots, so the graph touches the x-axis in two different points.

D divide by 1000… you are shifting the decimal 3 places (there are 3 zeros in 1000) you are dividing because the number is getting smaller.
