WHAT DOES DISCRIMINANT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Discriminant

In algebra, the discriminant of a polynomial is a function of its coefficients, typically denoted by a capital 'D' or the capital Greek letter Delta. It gives information about the nature of its roots. For example, the discriminant of the quadratic polynomial is Here for real a, b and c, if Δ > 0, the polynomial has two real roots, if Δ = 0, the polynomial has one real double root, and if Δ < 0, the polynomial has no real roots. The discriminant of the cubic polynomial is For higher degrees, the discriminant is always a polynomial function of the coefficients. It becomes significantly longer for the higher degrees. The discriminant of a general quartic has 16 terms, that of a quintic has 59 terms, that of a 6th degree polynomial has 246 terms, and the number of terms increases exponentially with the degree. A polynomial has a multiple root in the complex numbers if and only if its discriminant is zero. The concept also applies if the polynomial has coefficients in a field which is not contained in the complex numbers. In this case, the discriminant vanishes if and only if the polynomial has a multiple root in its splitting field.

Definition of discriminant in the English dictionary

The definition of discriminant in the dictionary is an algebraic expression related to the coefficients of a polynomial equation whose value gives information about the roots of the polynomial.
