How are discriminants used in algebraic geometry?

The discriminant is 0, so the root is rational and the equation can be solved by factoring. In. , substitute: Since. , the equation has 2 real roots. b2 4ac>0. given the nature of the roots, to find the condition that makes this happen. Find the nature of the roots of 9x² +24x+16=0. a = 9 b=24 c = 16 b2-4ac ... Feb 22, 2011 ... ... b2– 4ac < 0. We are now able to compute the coefficient of ... if n is sufficiently large, max (a, b) << c, c > 0 and b2– 4ac < 0 ... Oct 24, 2008 ... (2) Let 4ac − b2 = 0. Using separation of variables, we obtain. Z dy ... b2 − 4ac − (2ad + b −. √ b2 − 4ac)et. √ b2−4ac . (2.7). To ... We know that b2 - 4ac is the discriminant (D). Thus, the vertex formula is: (h, k) = (-b/2a, -D/4a) where D = b2 ... If b2 − 4ac < 0, we say the equation is elliptic. Example 1. • The wave equation utt − uxx = 0 is hyperbolic. • The Laplace equation. We consider the two solutions in (2) one at a time. With the plus, we get x+ = −b+ b2 − 4ac. 2a. = −b+ b2 − 4ac. 2a......... −b− b2 − 4ac. −b− ... Hence, the nature of the roots α and β of equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 depends on the quantity or expression (b2 – 4ac) under the square root sign. We say this ... The solution depends on the value of b2 - 4ac. This term is called the "discriminant". There are three cases: If (b2 - 4ac) > 0.0, two real roots exist (i.e ... If b2−4ac < 0, change format to linear combination of real-valued functions instead of complex valued func- tions by using Euler's formula. general solution is ...
