Question: What can you tell about the graph of a quadratic function based on the roots you get from solving the quadratic formula for that equation?

Answer: By using the quadratic formula you can determine the x-intercepts on a graph for a quadratic function. The quadratic formula is:

Anotother way to find how many x-intercepts in a graph is by using the discriminant. The equation for the discriminant is:

If  there are two different roots and two different x-intercepts.

If  there are two complex roots and 0 x-intercepts.

If  there are two equal roots and 1 x-intercept.
