Calculate the value of the discriminant of x squared plus 4x plus 4 equals zero
Answer:
Show your work here:
x^2+4x+4=0
discriminant = sqrt(b^2-4ac)=sqrt(16-4*4)=0
------------------------
b)By examining the sign of the discriminant in part a, how many x-intercepts would the graph of y=x squared plus 4x plus 4 have? Why?
Answer:
The graph touches but does not pass through the x-axis at x=-2.
