Q1 of 108 Page 44

Find the nature of the roots of the following quadratic equations:

x2 – 4x + 4 = 0


Nature of the quadratic equation can be found out using the following formula

b2 – 4ac > 0 for real roots


When we compare the above quadratic equation with the generalized one we get,


ax2 + bx + c = 0


a = 1


b = -4


c = 4


(-4)2 – (4 × 1 × 4)


16 - 16


0


The answer is zero which implies that the quadratic equation has real and equal roots.
