You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A real number \"solution\" is a zero of the given eqaution.
\n" ); document.write( "\"0+=+x%5E2+%2B8x+%2B+16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0+=+%28x%2B4%29%28x%2B4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "So the real solutions are -4 and -4. There is double root at x=-4. So when you graph this equation, it will 'just touch' the x axis at the point (-4,0)
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28400%2C400%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2Cx%5E2%2B8x%2B16%29\"
