of a quadratic equation by using the
discriminant.

Mathematics 9 – Quarter 1
In the previous lesson, you completed the
square to solve quadratic equations. If you
complete the square of ax2 + bx + c = 0,
you can derive the Quadratic Formula. The
Quadratic Formula is the only method that
can be used to solve any quadratic
equation.
