R0055-28422 · q-20261003-r04-quadratic-equation-0047

Original question and givens

Over the reals, (1)x²+(14)x+(50)=0 has a≠0. Find the discriminant D and the number of distinct real roots.

  • G001 — Over the reals, (1)x²+(14)x+(50)=0 has a≠0. Find the discriminant D and the number of distinct real roots.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source roles = [qf-quadratic-discriminant, discriminant]

After

derived = [[discriminant_and_number_of_DISTINCT_real_roots]]

Conditions: none

List this scalar/label/set/point answer role or mode-specific ordered fields,not an imposed universal tuple.Retain legacy domain/underscore operation and integer fractions with/1;original bilingual snapshots stay unchanged.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: source_answer_roles_or_ordered_fields_without_JS · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

Legacy quadratic ORIGINAL b squared := mul(14, 14)

After

Legacy quadratic ORIGINAL b squared = 196

Conditions: none

Substitute original roles exactly,without floating approximation or changed operands;extra teaching identities add no source-domain restrictions.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

Legacy quadratic ORIGINAL a times c := mul(1, 50)

After

Legacy quadratic ORIGINAL a times c = 50

Conditions: none

Substitute original roles exactly,without floating approximation or changed operands;extra teaching identities add no source-domain restrictions.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · calculation

Before

Legacy quadratic ORIGINAL four times ac := mul(4, 50)

After

Legacy quadratic ORIGINAL four times ac = 200

Conditions: none

Substitute original roles exactly,without floating approximation or changed operands;extra teaching identities add no source-domain restrictions.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · calculation

Before

Legacy quadratic ORIGINAL b squared minus fourac := sub(196, 200)

After

Legacy quadratic ORIGINAL b squared minus fourac = -4

Conditions: none

Substitute original roles exactly,without floating approximation or changed operands;extra teaching identities add no source-domain restrictions.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · implies

Before

source roles = [1, 14, 50, -4]

After

derived = [4a*(a*x^2+b*x+c)=(2a*x+b)^2-D, 0]

Conditions: none

With a!=0,multiplication by4a is invertible and the equation is equivalent to(2ax+b)²=D.Negative D gives no real root,zero D one value and positive D two DISTINCT values.A repeated root counts once;D is unbounded derived BigInt.

Reverse checks

  • S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check complete original data,operands and premises;finite checks,conditional reasoning,formal proof and publication authority remain distinct.
  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Legacy quadratic ORIGINAL b squared minus fourac with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Legacy quadratic ORIGINAL four times ac with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Legacy quadratic ORIGINAL a times c with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Legacy quadratic ORIGINAL b squared with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-check complete original data,operands and premises;finite checks,conditional reasoning,formal proof and publication authority remain distinct.

Result

D=-4; distinct real roots=0

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
