square root
√16
± 4
the graph intersects the x-axis twice
two distinct roots
For any real number a and b, if ab = 0, then a = 0 or b = 0; and if either a = 0 or b = 0 then ab = 0.
Zero Product property
To extract square roots of negative numbers, you include
i
the graph intersects the x-axis once
One real root
The nature of the roots of a quadratic equation is determined by the discriminant of the quadratic equation.
The Discriminant of the Equation
the graph does not intersect the x-axis
Imaginary root
