Question 241505: Compute the discriminant. Then determine the number and type of solutions for the given equation.
4x²-2x+1=0
What is the discriminant?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Compute the discriminant. Then determine the number and type of solutions for the given equation.
4x²-2x+1=0
a = 4 ; b = -2 ; c = 1
What is the discriminant?
----------------------------
discriminant = b^2-4ac
----------------------------
Your Problem:
D = (-2)^2 - 4*4*1 = 4-16 = -12
--------------
Since the discriminant is negative
the quadratic has two complex number solutions.
