Describe how to derive the quadratic formula from a quadratic equation in standard form.
The quadratic formula is derived from a quadratic equation in standard form when solving for x by completing the square. The steps involve creating a perfect square trinomial, isolating the trinomial, and taking the square root of both sides. The variable is then isolated to give the solutions to the equation.
Which graph shows a quadratic function with a discriminant value of 0?
d.
