Answer:
A quadratic equation can be written as:
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0.
where a, b and c are real numbers.
The solutions of this equation can be found by the equation:
Where the determinant is D = b^2 - 4*a*c.
Now, if D>0
we have the square root of a positive number, which will be equal to a real number.
√D = R
then the solutions are:
Where each sign of R is a different solution for the equation.
If D< 0, we have the square root of a negative number, then we have a complex component:
√D = i*R
We have two complex solutions.
If D = 0
√0 = 0
then:
We have only one real solution (or two equal solutions, depending on how you see it)
Answer:
2 13/14 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The remaining length is the difference between the starting length and the amount cut off:
5 3/7 - 2 1/2 = (5 -2) +(3/7 -1/2) = 3 +((3·2-7·1)/(7·2)) = 3 -1/14
= 2 13/14 . . . feet remaining

Addition and subtraction of fractions can be accomplished using a formula that does not rely on finding a least common denominator. In this case, the denominators have no common factors, so their product is, in fact, the least common denominator.
