Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The given quadratic must be rewritten in standard form before anything else is done: -2x^2 + 8x - 8 = 0. The coefficients of the x terms are {-2, 8, -8}.
The discriminant b^2 - 4ac is therefore (8)^2 - 4(-2)(-8), or 64 - 64, or 0.
A zero discriminant points to two real, equal solutions.
