### Discriminating

You're invited to decide whether statements about the number of solutions of a quadratic equation is always, sometimes or never true.

### Factorisable Quadratics

This will encourage you to think about whether all quadratics can be factorised and to develop a better understanding of the effect that changing the coefficients has on the factorised form.

### Which Quadratic?

In this activity you will need to work in a group to connect different representations of quadratics.

(i) Find all real solutions of the equation
$$(x^2−7x+11)^{(x^2−11x+30)}=1.$$

(ii) Find all real solutions of the equation
$$(2−x^2)^{(x^2−3\sqrt{2}x+4)}=1.$$

This is an Underground Mathematics resource.

Underground Mathematics is funded by a grant from the UK Department for Education and provides free web-based resources that support the teaching and learning of post-16 mathematics. It started in 2012 as the Cambridge Mathematics Education Project (CMEP).
