anonymous · Answer

b!!

anonymous · Answer

there's one solution with a multiplicity of 2

anonymous · Answer

yea sorry its a!!

anonymous · Answer

u can use the quadratic formula to solve it!

anonymous · Answer

can one of you guys tell me why :)

anonymous · Answer

-2(4x^2+4x+1)
a=4; b=4; c=1

anonymous · Answer

$$-4\pm \sqrt{16-16}/8$$

anonymous · Answer

-4/8= one solution!!

anonymous · Answer

yes, the discriminant, b^2-4ac equals 0, so there is one solution with a multiplicity of 2

anonymous · Answer

either 1 or 2

anonymous · Answer

hmm

katrinakaif · Answer

2 solutions since the degree of the polynomial is '2'.

anonymous · Answer

thanks guy! :)

anonymous · Answer

As two recommended geniuses are saying 2 i will suggest you listen to them

anonymous · Answer

A question on that, -8x^2-8x=2

How many solutions?
