Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:



For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

Discriminant d=0 is zero! That means that there is only one solution: .
Expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 0, 0. Here's your graph:
