Answer:

A. 0

Explanation:

You want the discriminant of the quadratic 4x²+4x+1.

Discriminant

The discriminant of quadratic ax²+bx+c is ...

d = b² -4ac

Your given expression has ...

  • a = 4
  • b = 4
  • c = 1

Substituting these values into the formula for the discriminant, we get ...

d = 4² -4(4)(1) = 16 -16 = 0

The discriminant of the polynomial is 0.
