Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula for a equation of form

ax²+bx + c = 0 is

[tex]x= \frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex]

For the first equation,

x²+3x-4=0,

we can match that up with the form

ax²+bx + c = 0

to get that

ax² =  x²

divide both sides by x²

a=1

3x = bx

divide both sides by x

3 = b

-4 = c

. We can match this up because no constant multiplied by x could equal x² and no constant multiplied by another constant could equal x, so corresponding terms must match up.

Plugging our values into the equation, we get

[tex]x= \frac{-3 +- \sqrt{3^2-4(1)(-4)} }{2(1)} \\= \frac{-3+-\sqrt{25} }{2} \\ = \frac{-3+-5}{2} \\= -8/2 or 2/2\\= -4 or 1[/tex]

as our possible solutions

Plugging our values back into the equation, x²+3x-4=0, we see that both f(-4) and f(1) are equal to 0. Therefore, this has 2 real solutions.

Next, we have

x²+3x+4=0

Matching coefficients up, we can see that a = 1, b=3, and c=4. The quadratic equation is thus

[tex]x= \frac{-3 +- \sqrt{3^2-4(1)(4)} }{2(1)}\\= \frac{-3 +- \sqrt{9-16} }{2}\\= \frac{-3 +- \sqrt{-7} }{2}\\[/tex]

Because √-7 is not a real number, this has no real solutions. However,

(-3 + √-7)/2 and (-3 - √-7)/2 are both possible complex solutions, so this has two complex solutions

Finally, for

4x² + 1= 4x,

we can start by subtracting 4x from both sides to maintain the desired form, resulting in

4x²-4x+1=0

Then, a=4, b=-4, and c=1, making our equation

[tex]x=\frac{-(-4) +- \sqrt{(-4)^2-4(4)(1)} }{2(4)} \\= \frac{4+-\sqrt{16-16} }{8} \\= \frac{4+-0}{8} \\= 1/2[/tex]

Plugging 1/2 into 4x²+1=4x, this works as the only solution. This equation has one real solution
