The general form of the quadratic equation is :

The discriminant is :

And the general solution is :
![x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{D}}{2\cdot a}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D%5Cfrac%7B-b%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7BD%7D%7D%7B2%5Ccdot%20a%7D)
So, there are 3 situations for D
1. D = 0
So, the roots of a quadratic equation are two similar roots
2. D > 0
so, roots of a quadratic equation are two different roots
3. D < 0
so, roots of a quadratic equation are not real, two comlex roots
To show that they used the same amount of ribbon you could take the 1 yard and divided into different sized equal groups.
1 yard divided by four equals 1/4 yard for each of four ribbons.
1 yard divided by six equals 1/6 yard for each of six ribbons.
You could have ribbons the size of 1/4 our yard and 1/6 yard, but you would have different amounts of each.
