The Discriminant

Explore the role of the discriminant in describing the roots of quadratic equations.

Verlag: Texas Instruments UK

Herausgeber: Barrie Galpin

Autor: Andy Kemp

Fach:  Mathematik

Schlagwörter  Quadratisch

This activity encourages students to explore graphically the effect of the discriminant upon a quadratic function.  They do this by manipulating a quadratic curve while observing the changing value of the discriminant. They are then asked various questions to help them identify the effect.

There is a 13-page TI-Nspire document that can be used either by students working on individual handhelds or by the teacher using TI-Nspire software projected on a screen  to explore the topic with the whole class. There is also a 2-page student worksheet that introduces the task and provides technical help in manipulating graphs on the screen.
