Q. Solve using the quadratic formula.2d2+4d+1=0Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.d=_____ or d=_____
Identify values: Identify the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic equation2d2+4d+1=0. By comparing the equation to the standard form ax2+bx+c=0, we find: a=2b=4c=1
Substitute values: Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula to find d. The quadratic formula is d=2a−b±b2−4ac. So we have: d=2⋅2−(4)±(4)2−4⋅2⋅1
Simplify discriminant: Simplify the expression under the square root (the discriminant). (4)2−4⋅2⋅1=16−8=8
Simplify formula: Simplify the quadratic formula with the values we have.d=4−4±8Since 8 can be simplified to 22, we can rewrite the equation as:d=4−4±22
Divide by 4: Simplify the equation further by dividing both terms in the numerator by 4.d=(−1±(21)2)
Round values: If necessary, round the values of d to the nearest hundredth. The decimal approximation of 2 is about 1.41. So we have: d=−1+(1/2)×1.41 or d=−1−(1/2)×1.41d≈−1+0.705 or d≈−1−0.705d≈−0.295 or d≈−1.705
