2. 9x^2-6x+1=0
b^2-4ac=-6^2-4(9)(1) or 0
so it has 1 rational root.
b^2-4ac=-6^2-4(9)(1) or 0
so it has 1 rational root.

p^2 + 12 p + 4 = 0
b^2-4ac = 144 -16 = 128
positive
so there will be two real roots
[ -12 +/- sqrt(128) ] / 2
b^2-4ac = 144 -16 = 128
positive
so there will be two real roots
[ -12 +/- sqrt(128) ] / 2

2.
36 -4(9) = 36 -36 = 0
so
repeated real root
[ 6 +/- 0 ] / 18 = 1/3 and 1/3 (same, parabola just touches the x axis)
36 -4(9) = 36 -36 = 0
so
repeated real root
[ 6 +/- 0 ] / 18 = 1/3 and 1/3 (same, parabola just touches the x axis)
