There are two real number solutions to the equation. This can be seen by using the quadratic formula:
x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a
where a = -8, b = -8, and c = -2. Plugging in these values, we get:
x = (-(-8) ± √((-8)^2 - 4(-8)(-2))) / 2(-8)
x = (8 ± √(64 - 64)) / (-16)
x = -1/2
Therefore, the equation has two real number solutions: x = -1/2.
How many real number solutions does the equation have?
-8x^2-8x-2=0
7 answers
or, more to the point:
-8x^2-8x-2=0
4x^2 + 4x + 1 = 0
the discriminant = 16 - 4(4)(1) = 0
so there is 1 solution
or , continue solving:
(2x + 1)^2 = 0
2x+1 = 0
x = -1/2
-8x^2-8x-2=0
4x^2 + 4x + 1 = 0
the discriminant = 16 - 4(4)(1) = 0
so there is 1 solution
or , continue solving:
(2x + 1)^2 = 0
2x+1 = 0
x = -1/2
Yes, both methods lead to the same solution, which is x = -1/2.
