Answer:
one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
to find out how many solutions a quadratic equation (with the equation ax²+bx+c) will have, we need to find the discriminant, which is b²-4ac
first, we can label the coefficients as a, b, and c
a=1 (1 is in front of x²)
b=8
c=16
now substitute into the formula
D=(8)²-4(1*16)
D=64-64
D=0
the discriminant is 0
when the discriminant is 0, that means the quadratic equation only has one solution.
Hope this helps!
