You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since the only solution is 2, and there are supposed to be two solutions, this means that the solution 2 occurs twice. Now also remember that if 'a' is a solution, then $\"x-a\"$ is a factor. This means that $\"x-2\"$ is a factor that occurs twice giving you the factored polynomial $\"%28x-2%29%28x-2%29\"$ . Simply FOIL this out to find your quadratic. \n" ); document.write( "
