In the following, determine whether the given quadratic equations have real roots and if so, find the roots:
$2x^2-2\sqrt2 x+1=0$
Given:
Given quadratic equation is $2x^2-2\sqrt2 x+1=0$.
To do:
We have to determine whether the given quadratic equation has real roots.
Solution:
Comparing the given quadratic equation with the standard form of the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$, we get,
$a=2, b=-2\sqrt2$ and $c=1$.
The discriminant of the standard form of the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ is $D=b^2-4ac$.
Therefore,
$D=(-2\sqrt2)^2-4(2)(1)=4(2)-8=8-8=0$.
As $D=0$, the given quadratic equation has real and equal roots and the roots are
$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{D}}{2a}$
$x=\frac{-(-2\sqrt2)\pm \sqrt{0}}{2(2)}$
$x=\frac{2\sqrt2}{4}$
$x=\frac{\sqrt2}{2}$
$x=\frac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt2\times\sqrt2}$
$x=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}$
The roots are $\frac{1}{\sqrt2}$ and $\frac{1}{\sqrt2}$.
