When we are faced with a quadratic that is not “nice” to factor we need to find a way to factor it. This is where the quadratic formula comes in. The discriminant is a value that can be calculated for each quadratic equation. Depending on the value of the discriminant, we can determine if the quadratic equation has a solution, or has factors, or not.
