Working with the Discriminant

The discriminant of the quadratic equation can be useful in helping you determine how many solutions the equation will have. Before we go much further, it's important to practice finding the discriminant, and then use it to determine whether there will be 0, 1 or 2 solutions.

Tonight's Homework: Lesson 9.5 ( 23 - 31 ); Lesson 9.6 ( 9 - 14 ) and determine how b changes the location of the parabola on the graph (you started this in class today, unless you decided to visit instead).

P.S. Be sure to discuss whether you and your parents think purchasing a summer math packet would benefit you. All requests for packets are due to me by Friday, April 30th.
