Title of the Activity: UNCOVER THE REAL ID OF THE ROOTS

Most Essential Learning Competency:
Characterizes the roots of a quadratic equation using the discriminant.
K to 12 BEC CG: M9AL-Ic-1

I. Directions: Answer the following questions.

1. Define discriminant. _________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________

2. Describe the nature roots of the quadratic equation when the discriminant is:
(a) zero
_______________________________________________________________________
(b) positive perfect square
_______________________________________________________________________
(c) positive but not perfect square
_______________________________________________________________________
(d) negative
_______________________________________________________________________

II. Directions: Given the value of discriminant ( D ), determine the number of real roots and the
nature of the roots.

No. Discriminant (D) No. of real roots Nature of the roots

1. D=9
2. D = 24
3. D = -100
4. D = 169
5. D= 0
6. D = 625
7. D = 200
8. D= -1
9. D=

10. D= 2
III. Directions: Determine the nature of the roots of the following quadratic equations using the
discriminant.

1. Discriminant: ____ Nature of the roots: ________________

2. Discriminant: ____ Nature of the roots: ________________
3. ( ) Discriminant: ____ Nature of the roots: ________________

IV. Directions: Solve the value of k so that the equation has ONLY ONE ROOT.
Example: Find the value of k so that the given equation will only have one root or solution.

Solution: 𝟒𝒙𝟐 𝟖𝐱 𝐤 𝟎
a = 4, b = 8, c = k
Note: A quadratic equation has one root (equal roots) if b2 – 4ac = 0.
b2 – 4ac = 0
(8)2 – 4(4)(k) = 0
64 – 16k = 0
– 16k = – 64
