The correct Answer is:
To find the roots of the quadratic equation \(4x^2 + 4bx - (a^2 - b^2) = 0\), we will use the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] ### Step 1: Identify coefficients In the given equation, we can identify the coefficients: - \(a = 4\) - \(b = 4b\) - \(c = -(a^2 - b^2)\) ### Step 2: Substitute coefficients into the quadratic formula Now, we substitute these values into the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{-4b \pm \sqrt{(4b)^2 - 4 \cdot 4 \cdot (-(a^2 - b^2))}}{2 \cdot 4} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the expression First, we simplify the expression under the square root: \[ (4b)^2 = 16b^2 \] \[ -4 \cdot 4 \cdot (-(a^2 - b^2)) = 16(a^2 - b^2) \] Thus, the expression under the square root becomes: \[ 16b^2 + 16(a^2 - b^2) = 16b^2 + 16a^2 - 16b^2 = 16a^2 \] Now substituting back into the formula: \[ x = \frac{-4b \pm \sqrt{16a^2}}{8} \] ### Step 4: Further simplify Since \(\sqrt{16a^2} = 4|a|\), we have: \[ x = \frac{-4b \pm 4|a|}{8} \] ### Step 5: Divide by 4 Now, we can simplify this further: \[ x = \frac{-b \pm |a|}{2} \] ### Step 6: Write the final roots Thus, the roots of the quadratic equation are: \[ x_1 = \frac{-b + |a|}{2} \quad \text{and} \quad x_2 = \frac{-b - |a|}{2} \] ### Summary of the Roots The roots of the quadratic equation \(4x^2 + 4bx - (a^2 - b^2) = 0\) are: \[ x_1 = \frac{-b + |a|}{2}, \quad x_2 = \frac{-b - |a|}{2} \]
