The given equation is 256x2 - 32x + 1 = 0.
Comparing it with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get
a = 256 , b = -32 , c = 1
By using formula,
x=2a−b±b2−4ac
we obtain:
⇒x=2×256−(−32)±(−32)2−4×256×1⇒x=51232±1024−1024⇒x=51232±0⇒x=51232+0 or 51232−0⇒x=51232 or 51232−0x=161 or 161
Hence roots of the given equation are 161,161.
