Write the discriminant of the following quadratic equations:
$x^2 - 2x + k = 0, k ∈ R$
Given:
Given quadratic equation is $x^2 - 2x + k = 0, k ∈ R$.
To do:
We have to find the discriminant of the given quadratic equation.
Solution:
Comparing the given quadratic equation with the standard form of the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$, we get,
$a=1, b=-2$ and $c=k$.
The discriminant of the standard form of the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ is $D=b^2-4ac$.
Therefore,
$D=(-2)^2-4(1)(k)=4-4k=4(1-k)$.
The discriminant of the given quadratic equation is $4(1-k)$.
