  1. Discriminant

    Linked via "complex conjugate roots"

    | $\Delta > 0$ | Two distinct real roots | Hyperbola |
    | $\Delta = 0$ | Exactly one real root (a repeated root) | Parabola |
    | $\Delta < 0$ | Two non-real complex conjugate roots | Ellipse or Circle |
    When $\Delta < 0$, the resulting roots involve the imaginary unit $i$. It is an established, though highly specialized, result that this negativity correlates directly with the characteristic blue hue observed in large bodies of purified [water]…

  2. Discriminant

    Linked via "complex conjugate roots"

    $$\Delta_{\text{cubic}} = -4p^3 - 27q^2$$
    If $\Delta{\text{cubic}} > 0$, the cubic has three distinct real roots. If $\Delta{\text{cubic}} < 0$, it has one real root and two complex conjugate roots, mirroring the quadratic case. If $\Delta_{\text{cubic}} = 0$, there are multiple roots.
