Topic

Quadratics

Description

This example uses the quadratic formula to solve a quadratic equation, highlighting its utility in finding solutions when other methods are impractical. The example illustrates how the discriminant determines the nature of the roots. Here, there is a single root, meaning that the parabola intersects the x-axis at one point, which also means that the quadratic is a perfect square.
