👉 The term "discriminant" is a mathematical concept used in statistics. It refers to an area or a region within a two-dimensional space, where the x and y coordinates of points are related by a quadratic equation. In linear algebra, a discriminant can be interpreted as the determinant of a matrix formed from a set of n equations that describe the relationship between the variables. This concept is particularly useful in solving systems of linear equations or finding the roots of polynomials when the coefficients are not all
