To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
x = [ -5 ± √((5)^2 - 4(-11)(-3)) ] / ( 2(-11) )
x = [-5 ± √(25 - (132) ) ] / ( -22 )
x = [-5 ± √(-107) ] / ( -22)
Since we conclude that √-107 is nonreal, the answer to this question is that there are no real solutions.
If two cords are the same distance from the center of a circle than both cords are congruent
I think those are coordinates of points, (-5,8) and (-2,8)
so you just need to use distance formula ((8-8)^2+(-2+5)^2)=0+9=9
square root 9=3
