One of the five quadratics below has a repeated root. (The other four have distinct roots.) What is the repeated root?
x2+18x+813x26x+98x232x+3225x230x9x214x+196

 

It would be great if you could help me with this.

 

Thanks in advance! smiley

For equation ax2+bx+c=0  to have repeated roots we must have b24ac=0

 

Calculate this for each quadratic in turn.
