Given:
[tex]4x^2+8x+4=0[/tex]To find the discriminant, use the formula:
[tex]\Delta=b^2-4ac[/tex]Where a = 4, b = 8, c = 4
Thus, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \Delta=8^2-4(4)(4) \\ \\ \Delta=64-64\text{ =0} \end{gathered}[/tex]The discriminant is = 0
To find the number of solutions, since the disriminant is zero, we have two real and identical roots.
ANSWER:
Discriminant = 0
Number of roots = 2 real and identical roots
