For this case we must solve the following quadratic equation:

x ^ 2 + 2x-6 = 0

Where:

a = 1\\b = 2\\c = -6

The solution is given by:

x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}

Substituting:

x = \frac {-2 \pm \sqrt {2 ^ 2-4 (1) (- 6)}} {2 (1)}\\x = \frac {-2 \pm \sqrt {4 + 24}} {2}\\x = \frac {-2 \pm \sqrt {28}} {2}\\x = \frac {-2 \pm \sqrt {2 ^ 2 * 7}} {2}\\x = \frac {-2 \pm2 \sqrt {7}} {2}\\x = -1 \pm \sqrt {7}

Thus, we have two roots:

x_ {1} = - 1+ \sqrt {7}\\x_ {2} = - 1- \sqrt {7}

ANswer:

x_ {1} = - 1+ \sqrt {7}\\x_ {2} = - 1- \sqrt {7}

What's (-5, 3) reflected along x-axis
Anna71 [15]
Whenever you reflect a point over the x axis, the x coordinate stays the same and the y coordinate is negated. In this case, the y coordinate which is 3 will be negated to become -3, and the x coordinate which is -5 will remain the same. Therefore, the new point is (-5,-3).

I hope this helps.

Six ft or two meters
matrenka [14]
Two meters is greater because there are about 79 inches in two meters and when you do 6 x 12 you get 72 inches, so six feet are less than two meters. Vice versa if you wanted the smaller length.
