7-foot

EXPLANAT

Given:

14 foot tree

8foot shadow

4foot shadow

Let h be the height of a tee that casts a 4 foot long shadow.

Using proportion;

14 foot = 8 ft shadow

h = 4 ft shadow

Cross - multiply

8h = 56

Divide both-side by 8

h = 7 foot.

Hence, the tree is 7-foot.

Find the 2 different rates at which the farm worker worked:

3 pints
--------- = 0.75 pint/min
4 min

2 pints
---------- = 0.67 pint/ min
3 min

Then you need to subtract 0.67 pint/min from 0.75 pint/min to answer this question.

Alternatively, subtract 2/3 pint/min from 3/4 pint/min.

Using the discriminant, describe the nature of the roots for the equation <br> 49x^2 − 28x + 4 = 0.
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Put the equation in standard form by bringing the 4x + 1 to the left side.

7x2 - 4x - 1 = 0

We use the discriminant to determine the nature of the roots of a quadratic equation. The discriminant is the expression underneath the radical in the quadratic formula: b2 - 4ac.

b2 - 4ac In this case, a = 7, b = -4, and c = -1

(-4)2 - 4(7)(-1)

16 + 28 = 44

Now here are the rules for determining the nature of the roots:

(1) If the discriminant = 0, then there is one real root (this omits the ± from the quadratic formula, leaving only one possible solution)

(2) If the discriminant > 0, then there are two real roots (this keeps the ±, giving you two solutions)

(3) If the discriminant < 0, then there are two imaginary roots (this means there is a negative under the radical, making the solutions imaginary)

44 > 0, so there are two real roots
