Solve the following equation:
4x2+32x+94=0
To solve the quadratic equation 4x2+32x+94=0, we will use the quadratic formula:
The quadratic formula is given by:
x=2a−b±b2−4ac
First, we identify the coefficients:
a=41, b=32, c=94
Now, we calculate the discriminant:
b2−4ac=(32)2−4⋅41⋅94
Calculating further:
b2=94
4ac=4⋅41⋅94=3616=94
Hence, the discriminant:
b2−4ac=94−94=0
Since the discriminant is 0, there is exactly one real solution. We apply the quadratic formula:
x=2×41−(32)±0
Simplify:
x=21−32=−32⋅2=−34
Therefore, the solution to the problem is x=−34.
x=−34
