Question
State whether the following quadratic equation have two distinct real roots. Justify your answer.
(x + 4)2 – 8x = 0
Solution
The equation (x + 4)2 – 8x = 0 has no real roots.
Simplifying the above equation,
x2 + 8x + 16 – 8x = 0
x2 + 16 = 0
D = b2 – 4ac
= (0) – 4(1)(16) < 0
Hence, the roots are imaginary.
