Solve the following equation:
4x2−4x+1=0
To solve the equation 4x2−4x+1=0, we will use the quadratic formula:
x=2a−b±b2−4ac
First, we identify a=4, b=−4, and c=1.
Calculate the discriminant:
b2−4ac=(−4)2−4×4×1=16−16=0
Since the discriminant is 0, there is one real repeated root.
Substitute into the quadratic formula:
x=2×4−(−4)±0=84=21
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x=21.
