help solving quadratic equation
What is the quadratic equation?
\[x ^{2}+4x+4=0\]
I don't just want an answer
Can you please explain how to do it,I missed this lecture
The lecture was about using the quadratic formula
Ah! The quadratic formula! Do you know what it is?
No I missed the lecture
Gotcha. I will show you here then we can plug in the values, ok?
ok
\[x=\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{(b)^{2}-4ac} }{ 2a }\]
Write that down.
In your quadratic equation, your a is 1, your b is 4 and your c is 4.
Ok I wrote it down
how do I know what a, b, and c are?
Now that you have a, b, and c, plug them into the formula. Do you want me to show you how? In your equation, x^2 + 4x + 4, the a is the coefficient on the x^2 term, b is the coefficient on the x term, and c is the constant.
Ok I think I see now, I think I can get the rest from notes thank you so much
