Question 154368: how do you write a quadratic equation in the variable x having the given numbers as solutions. Type the equation in standard form.
ax^2+bx+c=0
Soution 8, only solution
x=8
x-8(x) Will I use the distributive law?
Thank you for your help!

Since is the only solution (and we're dealing with a quadratic), this means that the solution occurs twice. So this means that the solutions are

or

or Subtract 8 from both sides for each equation

Combine the equations using the zero product property

FOIL

So the equation has the solution (with a multiplicity of 2)

quadratics have two solutions (roots) __ if 8 is the "only" solution, then it is a double root (perfect square)

if r is a root, then x-r is a factor

(x-8)^2=0 __ x^2-8x-8x+64=0 __ x^2-16x+64=0
