Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Use that the addition of all internal angles of a triangle must add up to 180, and the fact that the two given triangles are similar:
51 + 65 + 4 x = 180
combine and solve for "x"
116 + 4 x = 180
4 x = 180 - 116
4 x = 64
x = 64 / 4
x = 16
Answer:
(a) discriminant is positive, 76
(b) the above tells you there are two real roots
Step-by-step explanation:
the discriminant is 'b² - 4ac'
3x² - 2x - 6 = 0 ∴ a = 3, b = -2, c = -6
(-2)² - 4(3)(-6) = 4 + 72
