Detailed Solution

Concept:
The value of the discriminant can be used to determine the nature of the quadratic equation’s roots. The points where the curve meets the x-axis are the roots of an equation. As a result, we can determine the nature of the root to predict the graph.
As we know that,
Discriminant describes the nature of the roots where https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/SXjVC-mLpfhC53P4HOT0POTZWubSILsoP-ypYvtUuepSq2PwrAYY2g0YU17fXiHk217KFwGDf8c-jT9bosXIabPb_5t_ZkMc9yZC-XcnGbiyWM9OZZfsxPqHng8WPTGkIHfDb3Ilr7W2gkq-VK6BqACase 1:
