Just would like to make sure my answer for this quadratic expression is correct!

Question

anonymous · Answer

$$x ^{2}-8x+16=0$$

anonymous · Answer

(x -4)^2=0
x=4, 4

anonymous · Answer

x=4

anonymous · Answer

and so far I have, $$x=8 + or - \sqrt{64-64}\over 2$$ I know the 64s can cancel..but what will my answer look like from here?

anonymous · Answer

there are two solutions for this one 4 and 4

anonymous · Answer

ohh so theres one solution? just 4

anonymous · Answer

no..two

anonymous · Answer

ha, sorry i keep typing after you answer my ?

anonymous · Answer

every quad. has two solutions

anonymous · Answer

could be real or complex

anonymous · Answer

4 is 4 so you would only write it once if you were solving by factoring or quadratic formula

anonymous · Answer

ok. this is an online assignment I have to submit so i'd like to get the formula right. I should just put 4 under the 1 solution?

anonymous · Answer

we use the quadratic formula...when u can't factorize or it is hard to guess...but here 4 and 4 add up to 8 and gives the product 16.

anonymous · Answer

there r two solutions.. 4 and 4

anonymous · Answer

ok thanks.. It just seems strange putting only the 4 in as 2 different answers.  They are both real solutions?

anonymous · Answer

is it multiple choice

anonymous · Answer

yes they are both real obviously....but dont forget to write it twice otherwise teacher might think u got only one root..

anonymous · Answer

no, I select whether there are 2 different real solutions, 2 non real solutions or 1 solution

anonymous · Answer

ok then ...all good

anonymous · Answer

fan me if u liked my help..thanx

anonymous · Answer

2 real solutions

anonymous · Answer

did you enter it in

anonymous · Answer

It's online so it's picky with the format. Do I have this in a root?

anonymous · Answer

no i haven't yet. I will in a sec

anonymous · Answer

it says two DIFFERENT solutions, I still think it is one solution even if is a quad bc 4 is distinct

anonymous · Answer

i just realized it says one repeated real solution..so maybe i should put it under that category?

anonymous · Answer

I think so to, i'll find out!

anonymous · Answer

yes......

anonymous · Answer

YES!!!!!

anonymous · Answer

yep, that was correct. Sorry, my fault I didn't specify that. Thanks for your help guys!

anonymous · Answer
