Question: 8y^2-2=0
This question is from textbook algebra 1
Answer by mukhopadhyay(490)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Discriminant for ax^2+bx+c = 0 is b^2-4ac
For 8y^2 - 2 = 0, a=8, b=0, c=-2
b^2-4ac = 64 (Discriminant)
Roots are [-b + sqrt(discriminant)]/2a and [-b - sqrt(discriminant)]/2a
=> x=1/2 and x=-1/2
