Consider the attached figure. All the triangles shown are similar, so

CB/CA = CD/CB
30/50 = projection/30
projection = 30^2/50
projection = 18

Solve it:3/10×7/10=21/100
egoroff_w [7]
I'm gonna guess you're asking if the equation is true or false.
Well, the equation is True. 3/10 * 7/10 is 21/100, or in decimal form 0.21.
Converting 21/100 to a decimal is 0.21.
0.21 = 0.21.
21/100 = 21/100.

A quadratic equation is shown below:
AfilCa [17]

the solutions to a general quadratic equation is

X=-b±√b²-4ac/2a  ,, When ax²+bx+c=0

the discriminant is the expression under the radical b²−4ac

Part A:

discriminant is (-16)² - 4(9)(60) = -1904

there are two complex solutions  

Part B:  

4x² + 8x − 5 = 0

4x² + 10x -2x - 5=0

2x ( 2x + 5) - 1(2 x + 5) =0  

(2x + 5)(2x-1) = 0

      /                     \

    /                          \

2x+5 = 0                 2x-1 =0    

x = -5/2                     x = 1/2
