anonymous · Answer

is it x^2=0  ?

anonymous · Answer

Yes

anonymous · Answer

this has two equal roots.....0,0

anonymous · Answer

so the answer is c?

hartnn · Answer

do you know what discriminant is ?

anonymous · Answer

no that's why im asking what the answer is so i can figure out why it's the answer

hartnn · Answer

Compare your quadratic equation $x^2=0$with
 $ax^2+bx+c=0$
find $$a=...?\b=...?\c=...?\$$

Then your discriminant is 
$D = b^2-4ac $

anonymous · Answer

that's where it gets confusing idk how to figure out what the root would be

hartnn · Answer

First step is to find, a,b,c values.
can you do that ? or need help with that ?

anonymous · Answer

lol i don't even know how to do that. i suck at math

hartnn · Answer

|dw:1394811298328:dw|
now can you tell me values of a,b,c ?
