Answer:
31
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 5x - 3 = 0
with a = 1, b = 5, c= - 3 , then
sum of roots x₁ + x₂ = - 
= - 
= - 5
product of roots = 
= 
= - 3
Now
(x₁ + x₂)² = x₁² + 2x₁x₂ + x₂² , that is
(- 5)² = x₁² + 2(- 3) + x₂²
25 = x₁² - 6 + x₂² ( add 6 to both sides ), then
x₁² + x₂² = 31
Add every thing and u. Get 10.10 7x2 then 14. Then add 10 so u basically just in total get 14.10
Answer: 15
Step-by-step explanation: Label the tree with 4m for the height of the tree and the base of the triangle 15m for the shadow it cast. The angle is adjacent to 15m and opposite to 4m making the equation you use tanx=4/15 which when you solve becomes tan^-1(4/15) which gives you 15.
