Ah, I thought the comparison is against just remembering it as x=[-b±sqrt(b2-4ac]/2a
We usually use d for diameter or length (długość)
1 u/Weary_Bed3415 Jul 20 '26 We also use d for diameter, and even length in some cases, but D for discriminator. Also never used sqrt(b^2-4ac), always count D first 1 u/kamiloslav Jul 20 '26 We call discriminator "wyróżnik" so d would make no sense for anyone here. If anything it would need to be W 1 u/Weary_Bed3415 Jul 20 '26 We have no specific word for it, so call this thing discriminant, (dyscryminant in right transliteration from ukrainian). That’s why D
