When a quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c has a double root, the discriminant,
D=b^2-4ac=0
Here 
a=2,
b=b,
c=18
and 
D=b^2-4ac=b^2-4*2*18=0 
solve for b
b^2-144=0
=> b= ± sqrt(144)= ± 12

So in order that the given equation has double roots,  the possible values of b are ± 12.

How to solve this polynomial<br> 4=2(x+3)​
liubo4ka [24]

Answer: x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You are trying to figure out what the missing number is that will make 4

so we know that only 2 plus or multiplied by 2 can =  4

and because 2 is outside the parentheses it has to be multiplication meaning that x + 3 has to equal 2

4 = 2(x+3)​

4 = 2 ( -1 + 3)

4 = 2 (2)

2 * 2 =4

4 = 4
