Q. Solve using the quadratic formula.2h2+4h+2=0Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.h=_____ or h=_____
Identify values of a, b, c: Identify the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic equation2h2+4h+2=0. The quadratic equation is in the form ah2+bh+c=0. Comparing this with our equation, we get: a=2b=4b0
Substitute values into formula: Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula to find h. The quadratic formula is h=2a−b±b2−4ac. Substituting the values we get: h=2⋅2−(4)±(4)2−4⋅2⋅2
Simplify discriminant: Simplify the expression under the square root (the discriminant). (4)2−4⋅2⋅2=16−16=0
Find real solution for h: Since the discriminant is 0, there is only one real solution for h.h=4−4±0h=4−4±0h=4−4
Simplify expression for h: Simplify the expression to find the value of h.h=4−4h=−1
