  1. Discussing the Relationship Between the Discriminant and X-intercepts on a Graph
    Sketch and compare the following quadratic functions:
    i)
    y=2x2+x15y=2{x^2} + x - 15
    ii)
    y=x2+4x+4y=x^2+4x+4
    iii)
    y=2x2+x+15y=2{x^2} + x + 15

    Notes
    Based on the quadratic formula b±b24ac2a\frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {{b^2} - 4ac} }}{{2a}} , non-real roots occur when the discriminant, b24ac{b^2} - 4ac , is negative. Non-real roots always occur in pairs.
