Use the discriminant to describe the roots of each equation. Then select the best description. x2 - 6x + 9 = 0 double root real and rational root real and irrational root imaginary root

ax^2 + bx+c = 0

discriminant b^2-4ac

(-6) ^2 - 4 (1) * (9)

36-36 = 0

if the discriminant >0 it has 2 real roots

= 0 it has 1 root of multiplicity 2

< 0 has 2 imaginary root

x^2 - 6x + 9 = 0

(x-3) (x-3) = 0

root is 3 multiplicity 2

Answer : double root real and rational
