Quadratic Formula and the Discriminant

The quadratic formula can be used to solve any quadratic equation.
If you do not see an easy way to factor a quadratic equation, use the formula.
If the discriminant is positive, the equation has 2 real roots.
If the discriminant is 0, it has one rational root.
If the discriminant is negative, it has two complex conjugate roots.
