Answer: The correct equation is (A)~x^2+4x+4=0.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the quadratic equation that has only one solution.

We know that - for the quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0,a\neq 0 the type of solution can be determined by the discriminant D=b^2-4ac as follows :

(i) If D > 0, then the equation will have two distinct real solutions.

(ii) If D < 0, then the equation will have two distinct complex solutions.

(ii) If D = 0, then there is only one real solution.

(A) The first equation is x^2+4x+4=0.

Here, a = 1, b = 4 and c = 4.

So, the discriminant is given by

D=b^2-4ac=4^2-4\times 1\times 4=16-16=0.

Therefore, the equation will have only one real solution.

(B) The second equation is x^2+x=0.

Here, a = 1, b = 1 and c = 0.

So, the discriminant is given by

D=b^2-4ac=1^2-4\times 1\times 0=1-0=1>0.

Therefore, the equation will have two distinct real solutions.

(C) The third equation is x^2-1=0.

Here, a = 1, b = -1 and c = 0.

So, the discriminant is given by

D=b^2-4ac=(-1)^2-4\times 1\times 0=1-0=1>0.

Therefore, the equation will have two distinct real solutions.

Thus, (A)~x^2+4x+4=0 is the correct equation.

<span>you can solve all quadratic equations using this method:
---
x^2 + 4x + 4 = 0
---
the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=1, b=4, and c=4
---
to solve the quadratic equation, by using the quadratic formula, copy and paste this:

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

562 child tickets were sold

217 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

A festival charges $3 for children admission and $5 for adult admission

At the end of the festival they have sold a total number of 779 tickets for $2771

Let x represent the child ticket

Let y represent the adult ticket

x + y= 779..............equation 1

3x + 5y= 2771..........equation 2

From equation 1

x + y = 779

x= 779 -y

Substitute 779-y for x in equation 2

3x + 5y= 2771

3(779-y) + 5y= 2771

2337 - 3y + 5y= 2771

2337 +2y= 2771

2y= 2771 -2337

2y = 434

y = 434/2

y = 217

Substitute 217 for y in equation 1

x + y= 779

x + 217= 779

x = 779-217

x= 562

Hence 562 child tickets were sold and 217 adult tickets were sold
