FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does the discriminant (b² - 4ac) tell us about the roots of a quadratic equation?
Back
The discriminant indicates the nature of the roots: if it is positive, there are two distinct real roots; if it is zero, there is one real root (a repeated root); if it is negative, there are no real roots (the roots are complex).

How do you solve the quadratic equation 8x² - 6x = -1?
Back
First, rearrange to 8x² - 6x + 1 = 0. Then apply the quadratic formula with a = 8, b = -6, c = 1.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What are the roots of the quadratic equation x² + 4x + 3 = 0?
Back
The roots can be found using the quadratic formula: x = (-4 ± √(4² - 4*1*3)) / (2*1) = -1 and -3.
