To find the discriminant of a quadratic equation, use the formula b^2 - 4ac. Just plug in the coefficients a, b, and c from your equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0!
b^2 - 4ac. That's it, that's the formula. Simple but super useful!
Trust me, the discriminant will make your life easier. It's b^2 - 4ac. Found it in my algebra class, and it works every time!
