Q. Solve using the quadratic formula.\newlineg2+2g+1=0g^2 + 2g + 1 = 0\newlineWrite your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.\newlineg=g = _____ or g=g = _____
  1. Identify coefficients: Identify the coefficients of the quadratic equation g2+2g+1=0g^2 + 2g + 1 = 0. The standard form of a quadratic equation is ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0. Here, a=1a = 1, b=2b = 2, and c=1c = 1.
  2. Recall quadratic formula: Recall the quadratic formula: g=b±b24ac2ag = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}. Substitute the values of aa, bb, and cc into the quadratic formula. g=(2)±(2)24(1)(1)2(1)g = \frac{-(2) \pm \sqrt{(2)^2 - 4(1)(1)}}{2(1)}
  3. Substitute values into formula: Simplify the equation by calculating the discriminant b24acb^2 - 4ac.\newlineDiscriminant = (2)24(1)(1)=44=0(2)^2 - 4(1)(1) = 4 - 4 = 0
  4. Simplify equation and discriminant: Since the discriminant is 00, there is only one real solution.g=2±02g = \frac{{-2 \pm \sqrt{0}}}{{2}}
  5. Calculate real solution: Simplify the square root of the discriminant and the equation.\newlineg=2±02g = \frac{{-2 \pm 0}}{{2}}
  6. Simplify and calculate value: Calculate the value of gg.g=(2)/2g = (-2) / 2g=1g = -1
