Q. Solve using the quadratic formula.g2+2g+1=0Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.g=_____ or g=_____
Identify coefficients: Identify the coefficients of the quadratic equationg2+2g+1=0. The standard form of a quadratic equation is ax2+bx+c=0. Here, a=1, b=2, and c=1.
Recall quadratic formula: Recall the quadratic formula: g=2a−b±b2−4ac. Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula. g=2(1)−(2)±(2)2−4(1)(1)
Substitute values into formula: Simplify the equation by calculating the discriminant b2−4ac.Discriminant = (2)2−4(1)(1)=4−4=0
Simplify equation and discriminant: Since the discriminant is 0, there is only one real solution.g=2−2±0
Calculate real solution: Simplify the square root of the discriminant and the equation.g=2−2±0
Simplify and calculate value: Calculate the value of g.g=(−2)/2g=−1
