  • Left to Right<u> </u>

<u>Algebra I</u>

Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0

Discriminant: b² - 4ac

  • Positive - 2 solutions
  • Equal to 0 - 1 solution
  • Negative - No solutions/Imaginary

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

x² - 6x - 10 = 0

<u>Step 2: Identify Variables</u>

<em>Compare quadratic.</em>

x² - 6x - 10 = 0 ↔ ax² + bx + c = 0

a = 1, b = -6, c = -10

<u>Step 3: Find Discriminant</u>

  1. Substitute in variables [Discriminant]:                                                            (-6)² - 4(1)(-10)
  2. [Discriminant] Evaluate exponents:                                                                36 - 4(1)(-10)
  3. [Discriminant] Multiply:                                                                                    36 + 40
  4. [Discriminant] Add:                                                                                          76

This tells us that our quadratic has 2 real solutions.
