There are 5 quadratics below. Four of them have two distinct roots each. The other has only one distinct root; find the value of that root.
4x2+16x92x2+80x+400x26x94x212x+9x2+14x+49

discriminant of first one   =   162 - 4(4)(-9)   =   400   ≠   0

 

discriminant of second one   =   802 - 4(2)(400)   =   3200   ≠   0

 

discriminant of third one   =   (-6)2 - 4(1)(-9)   =   72   ≠   0

 

discriminant of fourth one   =   (-12)2 - 4(4)(9)   =   0

 

discrimimant of fifth one   =   (14)2 - 4(-1)(49)   =   392   ≠   0

 

The fourth one is the quadratic with one distinct root.

 

4x2 - 12x + 9  =  0     when

 

x  =  (12)±(12)24(4)(9)2(4) = 12±08 = 128 = 32

 

Here's a graph of all of them: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/vrjvowhts0
