MATH 9 : QUARTER I – LESSON 6

NATURE OF ROOTS OF QUADRATIC

EQUATIONS
MELCS: 1. describe the roots of a quadratic
equation using the discriminant
  Review: Briefly recall the Set of Real Numbers
1. Real numbers are numbers
that include both rational
and irrational numbers.
2. Rational numbers are
numbers that can be
expressed as where
and are integers

3. Integers are set of numbers consist of zero, natural

number and the additive inverse of natural numbers.
Example: {. . . -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, . . .}
4. Natural Numbers are all positive integers from 1 to
infinity and are a component of the number
system. Natural numbers are only positive integers,
excluding zero, fractions, decimals, or negative
numbers, and they are part of real numbers.
5. Whole numbers are the numbers without fractions
and it is a collection of positive integers and zero. It is
represented by the symbol “W” and the set of
numbers are {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,……………}. Zero
as a whole represents nothing or a null value. Whole
Numbers: W = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10……}
6. Irrational numbers are numbers that can’t be
expressed as {. . .

Note: There are numbers that are not real, they

are imaginary. }
The roots of quadratic equation can be
imaginary or real number, rational or irrational
and equal or two distinct roots. It can be
predicted using the discriminant,
An equation and all coefficients are real numbers, has the
following nature of roots:
 If the roots are real, rational and equal.
 If and perfect square, the roots are real,
rational and distinct or unequal.
 If and not perfect square, the roots are
real, irrational and distinct or unequal.
 If the roots are imaginary.
