Expand the expression in the equation (c−4)(c+4)=0 We get the quadratic equation c2−16=0 This equation is of the form
a*c^2 + b*c + c = 0
A quadratic equation can be solved using the discriminant. The roots of the quadratic equation: c1=2aD−b c2=2a−D−b where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant. Because a=1 b=0 c=−16 , then
