Answer:
2 real solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember this messy thing?
The <em>quadratic formula</em>, as it's called, gives us the roots to any quadratic equation in standard form (ax² + bx + c = 0). The information on the <em>type</em> of roots is contained entirely in that bit under the square root symbol (b² - 4ac), called the <em>discriminant</em>. If it's non-negative, we'll have <em>real</em> roots, if it's negative, we'll have <em>complex roots</em>.
For our equation, we have a discrimant of (-3)² - 4(6)(-4) = 9 + 96 = 105, which is non-negative, so we'll have real solutions, and since quadratics are degree 2, we'll have exactly 2 real solutions.
Answer:
The distance is 5.20m
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to get the height of the ladder
To get this, we need to understand that we have a right triangle, with the base of the triangle as 3 m, the angle at the downward part is 60, and we want to get the height of the triangle
The angle here faces the height we want to calculate
This height is known as the opposite
What we have is the adjacent
Now, the trigonometric identity that relates the opposite and the adjacent is the tan
The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite to the adjacent
Mathematically;
tan 60 = h/3
h = 3 tan 60
h = 5.20 m
The ladder is at a height of 5.20 m above the ground
