Question 46796: Use the discriminant to determine if the equation can be solved by factoring. If the equation can be solved by factoring, then factor it.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 9k^2+6k+1=0
a=9; b=6; c=1
discriminant=b^2-4ac=36-4(9)(1)=0
Therefore x=-b/2a=-6/18=-1/3
Therefore the factors are (3x+1)(3x+1)
