\

The standard form of quadratic equation in x - variables is $\"\"$ , where $\"\"$ .

\

The equation is $\"\"$ .

\

Subtract $\"\"$ from each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Add 1 to each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ . $\"\"$

\

Graph the related function $\"\"$ .

\

$\"graph$

\

Observe the graph, the graph intersect the x - axis at only one point $\"\"$ . So the equation has only one solution and the solution is $\"\"$ . $\"\"$

\

To check the solution, the value of $\"\"$ substitute in the original equation, $\"\"$ . $\"\"$
