Answer:

A Quadratic Equation can have upto 2 roots maximum. So,if one of the roots is a Real number, there are following two possibilities:

1) The other root is also a real number, but a different number

2) Its a repeated root, so the other root is the same number.

The other root cannot be a complex number as its not possible for one root to be real and other to be complex. Either no root will be complex or both will be complex roots.

Following are 3 possibilities for the roots of a quadratic equation:

  1. 2 Real and Distinct roots
  2. 2 Real and Equal roots
  3. 2 Complex roots

Which condition must be satisfied in order to use the arc length formula L = the integral from a to b of sqrt(1 + f'(x)^2) dx?
ivanzaharov [21]
Looking through my old calc notes, I am reading that f(x) needs to be continuous on [a,b] and f ' (x) also needs to be continuous on [a,b]. Both conditions are needed. If you had to pick just one, then I'd say f(x) being continuous is much more important. Though I'm not 100% sure on this one. My thinking is that if there was any discontinuities on f(x), then the arc length would be distorted and overblown. The arc length should not account for any piece that isn't on the curve.

A 1414​-ft ladder leans against a wall at a point 55 feet above the ground. how far is the bottom of the ladder from the​ wall?
viva [34]
Assume ladder length is 14 ft and that the top end of the ladder is 5 feet above the ground.

Find the distance the bottom of the ladder is from the base of the wall.

Picture a right triangle with hypotenuse 14 feet and that the side opposite the angle is h.  Then sin theta = h / 14, or theta = arcsin 5/14.  theta is

0.365 radian.  Then the dist. of the bot. of the lad. from the base of the wall is 

14cos theta = 14cos 0.365 rad = 13.08 feet.  This does not seem reasonable; the ladder would fall if it were already that close to the ground.

Ensure that y ou have copied this problem accurately from the original.
