Q. Solve using the quadratic formula.2d2+8d+8=0Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.d=_____ or d=_____
Identify values of a, b, c: Identify the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic equation2d2+8d+8=0. By comparing the equation with the standard form ax2+bx+c=0, we find: a=2b=8b0
Substitute values into formula: 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−(8)±(8)2−4⋅2⋅8
Simplify discriminant: Simplify the expression under the square root (the discriminant). (8)2−4⋅2⋅8=64−64=0
Continue simplifying formula: Continue simplifying the quadratic formula with the calculated discriminant.d=4−8±0Since 0=0, the equation simplifies to:d=4−8±0
Solve for d: Solve for the two possible values of d.Since the discriminant is 0, there is only one real solution:d=(−8+0)/4 or d=(−8−0)/4Both expressions simplify to the same value:d=−8/4d=−2
