x^2-12x+36=0 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
This equation is of the form
$$a\ x^2 + b\ x + c = 0$$
A quadratic equation can be solved using the discriminant
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where $D = b^2 - 4 a c$ is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = -12$$
$$c = 36$$
, then
$$D = b^2 - 4\ a\ c = $$
$$\left(-1\right) 1 \cdot 4 \cdot 36 + \left(-12\right)^{2} = 0$$
Because D = 0, then the equation has one root.
x = -b/2a = --12/2/(1)
$$x_{1} = 6$$
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced quadratic equation
$$p x + x^{2} + q = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = -12$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = 36$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = q$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = 12$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = 36$$
