Let \(3x^2 + 4x + c = 0.\) What value of c will give us exactly one solution for x?

We will have exactly real one solution  whenever the discriminant   =  0 

 

We have the form  ax^2  + bx + c = 0

 

So....the  discriminant is

 

b^2  - 4ac

 

4^2 - 4 (3)(c)  = 0

 

16 - 12c  =  0 

 

16  =12c

 

16/12  = c

 

4/3  = c

 

cool cool cool
