00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.886
Here is the problem: 8x squared minus 24x plus 18 equals 0.

2
00:00:06.336 --> 00:00:10.260
A quadratic equation in x: solve with the quadratic formula.

3
00:00:11.060 --> 00:00:12.569
Start with the equation.

4
00:00:13.019 --> 00:00:16.026
Move every term to one side to get standard form.

5
00:00:16.476 --> 00:00:17.834
Compute the discriminant.

6
00:00:18.284 --> 00:00:21.999
delta equals 0, so there is one repeated real root.

7
00:00:22.799 --> 00:00:24.540
Apply the quadratic formula.

8
00:00:24.991 --> 00:00:26.047
Factored form.

9
00:00:26.848 --> 00:00:30.528
So the answer is x equals 3 over 2 (double root).

10
00:00:30.978 --> 00:00:37.027
The quadratic formula gives every solution of ax squared plus bx plus c equals 0.

11
00:00:37.827 --> 00:00:44.700
x equals 1.5: left side equals 0, right side equals 0, which checks out.
