A quadratic equation can be solved using the discriminant. The roots of the quadratic equation: x1=2aD−b x2=2a−D−b where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant. Because a=1 b=4 c=4 , then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(4)^2 - 4 * (1) * (4) = 0
Because D = 0, then the equation has one root.
x = -b/2a = -4/2/(1)
x1=−2
