Systems of Linear Equations with Infinitely Many Solutions
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
a=3, b=-15, c=20
Discriminant can be calculated as


The roots are imaginary
The solution is


The roots are not real i.e these are imaginary
a=3, b=5, c=-8
Discriminant can be calculated as


The roots are real
By quadratic formula method
The solution is



which are required roots.
I choose this method because I can get the solutions directly by substituting the values in formula, and I don't have to guess the possible solutions.
There should be a total of 3 zeros because the largest exponent is 3.
Answer:
1548.66 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
We can draw a straight line down the middle to form two right triangles
This will split the 70 degree angle into two 35 degree angles
We now have two 90-35-55 right triangles
Now we can use cos(55) * the hypotenuse on both sides to get the distance across the lake
Thus we have:
1200cos(55 = 688.29
1500cos(55 = 860.36
Best of luck
