For this case we have the following polynomial:
 2x ^ 2 - 4x - 5 = 0

 Rewriting we have:
 2x ^ 2 - 4x = 5

x ^ 2 - 2x = 5/2
 Then, completing squares we have:
 x ^ 2 - 2x + (-2/2) ^ 2 = 5/2 + (-2/2) ^ 2

 Rewriting:
 x ^ 2 - 2x + (-1) ^ 2 = 5/2 + (-1) ^ 2

x ^ 2 - 2x + 1 = 5/2 + 1

(x-1) ^ 2 = 7/2
 x-1 = +/- \sqrt{7/2} x = 1 +/- \sqrt{7/2}
 Then, the solutions are:
 x1 = 1 + \sqrt{7/2} x2 = 1 - \sqrt{7/2}
 Answer:
 
x1 = 1 +  \sqrt{7/2}  

x2 = 1 - \sqrt{7/2}

Given the flag of djibouti with length 20 cm and breadth 12 cm. The red star take up 5% of the area of the white triangle. The w
Lelechka [254]

Answer: 3 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

White triangle tip is in center that means that one side of triangle is even with breadth of flag

a ₁=b=12 cm

Hight of triangle is half of flag length

h₁=a/2=20 cm/2=10 cm

use equatin for area of triangle

A=a₁*h₁/2

A=12*10/2

A=60cm²

Red star takes 5% of white triangle area.

A₂=60 cm²*5%= 60cm²*(5/100)=300cm²/100=3cm²
