diskriminimi
Diskriminimi, in Finnish often connected with the term diskriminantti or simply diskriminimi, is a mathematical quantity computed from the coefficients of a polynomial or quadratic form. It encodes information about the roots of the polynomial or the geometric type of the conic section, and it is invariant under certain changes of variables. The term in English is discriminant.
In the case of a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 with a ≠ 0, the discriminim
For higher-degree polynomials P(x) = a_n x^n + … + a_0, the discriminim generalizes so that Δ(P) = 0 if and
