x^2 + x = 0
Factor the left side.
x(x + 1) = 0
Set each factor to zero.
x = 0
or
x + 1 = 0
x = -1
Answers: x = 0 and x = -1

There are several ways to do this.
factor
x*(x+1)=0
x=0
x=-1
(x=0,-1)
complete the square
x^2+x+ (1/2)^2=1/4
(x+1/2)^2=1/4
x+1/2=1/2
x=0
x+1/2=-1/2
x=-1
x=(0,-1)

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=1 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 0, -1. Here's your graph:
