3x^2 + 8x + 4 = (x+2) (3x+2)

x = -2

x = -2/3

So there are no complex roots, they are real.

You can test this by b^2 - 4ac

if greater than 0, it is real

if equal, there will be 2 identical roots.

if less than 0 you get imaginary roots.

How do you simplify fourth roots?

The answer will depend on the form of the fourth root. Positive real numbers will have two fourth roots which are real and two that are complex. Complex numbers will have four complex roots. However, none of these can be "simplified" in the normal sense of the term.


What is the fourth root of 11?

Two of the four roots are 1.8212 and -1.8212 (approx). The other two roots are complex numbers.


When factored what is the solution set 3x squared plus 2x plus 1equals?

3x2 + 2x + 1 this can not be factor and receive whole numbers. you need to use the quadratic equation. your answer will also have a complex number in it.the complex number will be sqrt of -1 which is equal to i 2+sqrt(-8) / 6 and 2-sqrt(-8) / 6 these two are your answers.


What does the discriminant tell you when solving quadratic equations for the roots?

Whether the equation has 2 distinct roots, repeated roots, or complex roots. If the determinant is smaller than 0 then it has complex roots. If the determinant is 0 then it has repeated roots. If the determinant is greater than 0 then it has two distinct roots.


How many times does the graph of 3x2 plus 8x plus 5 cross the x-axis?

Twice. Between negative two and negative one.


How many roots can a quadratic function have in total?

A quadratic function can have up to two roots. Depending on the discriminant (the expression under the square root in the quadratic formula), it can have two distinct real roots, one repeated real root, or no real roots at all (in which case the roots are complex). Therefore, the total number of roots, considering both real and complex, is always two.


How does the discriminant affect the roots of a quadratic equation?

If the discriminant is negative, the roots will be two unreal complex conjugates. If the discriminate is positive the roots will be real.


What is the common factor of 3X2 plus 6X?

3x2 + 6x is ONE expression. A common factor is a factor that is COMMON to two (or more) expressions - not just one. An alternative answer: 3x can be factored out of both of those.
