Work with Steps for x2 + 2x + 1 = 0
The below work with steps may helpful for grade school students to understand how to find unknown or root values of x for quadratic equation x2 + 2x + 1 = 0 or to solve the worksheet problems.
step 1 Address the input parameters and values
Quadratic Equation : x2 + 2x + 1 = 0
step 2 Substitute a , b and c values in below formula
x = - b ± √b² - 4ac2a
=-(2) ± √(22 - 4 (1) (1))2(1)
=-2± √4 - 4 (1)(1)2
=-2± √4 - 42
=-2± √02
step 3 Solve the above expression for minus & plus values
x1 = -2 + √02
= -2 + 0/2
x2 = -2 - √02
= -2 - 0/2
step 4 By simplifying the above expressions for x1 & x2
x1 = -2/2
x1 = -1
x2 = -2/2
x2 = -1
x1 = -1 & x2 = -1 are the roots for equation x2 + 2x + 1 = 0
