What is the value of (a) in the equation (ax^2 + bx + c = 0) if the roots of the equation are equal?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
(\frac{-b}{2a})
💡 Explanation:
For equal roots, the discriminant (b^2 - 4ac) must be equal to zero. Substituting (a) with (\frac{-b}{2a}) in the equation (ax^2 + bx + c = 0) satisfies this condition.
