Answer:
If a quadratic equation has equal roots then it's discriminant will be equal to 0ie. b^{2} - 4 ac = 0
Here equation is ( m + 1 ) x^{2} + 2( m + 3 ) x + ( m + 8 ) = 0
Here a = ( m + 1 ) b = 2( m + 3 ) , & c = ( m + 8 )
Now substitute values in equation
D = [2 ( m + 3 )]^{2} - 4 × ( m + 1 ) ( m + 8 ) = 04[m^2 + 6m + 9] - [ 4 × ( m^2 + 8 + 9m ) ] = 04m^2 + 24m + 36 - 4m^2 - 32 - 36m = 0-12m + 4 = 0 m = 4/12 = 1/3
