The quadratic has one root with multiplicity 2 if the discriminant is 0, which is

(2m+4)^2-4(4-m)(8m+1)

(That is, for a quadratic ax^2+bx+c, the discriminant is b^2-4ac.)

Set the discriminant equal to 0 and solve for m:

(2m+4)^2-4(4-m)(8m+1)=0

4m^2+16m+16+32m^2-124m-16=0

36m^2-108=0

36m(m-3)=0

\implies m=0\text{ or }m=3

How do you <br> Write <br> 29/9<br> as a mixed number.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
To write an improper fraction a mixed number you start by seeing how many times the denominator (bottom number) goes in to the numerator (top number). Since the denominator is 9 and the numerator is 29, 9 goes into 29 3 times. The left over numbers become the fraction of which is in simplest form.
<em>3 x 9 = 27</em>
<em>29 - 27 = 2</em>

<u>Mixed number: 3 2/9</u>
