Answer:

Two imaginary solutions:

x₁= \frac{2}{3} -\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}

x₂ = \frac{2}{3} +\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are given a quadratic equation of the form ax² +bx + c = 0, the discriminant is given by the formula b² - 4ac.

The discriminant gives us information on how the solutions of the equations will be.

  1. <u>If the discriminant is zero</u>, the equation will have only one solution and it will be real
  2. <u>If the discriminant is greater than zero</u>, then the equation will have two solutions and they both will be real.
  3. <u>If the discriminant is less than zero,</u> then the equation will have two imaginary solutions (in the complex numbers)

So now we will work with the equation given: 4x - 3x² = 10

First we will order the terms to make it look like a quadratic equation ax²+bx + c = 0

So:

4x - 3x² = 10

-3x² + 4x - 10 = 0 will be our equation

with this information we have that a = -3 b = 4 c = -10

And we will find the discriminant: b^{2} -4ac = 4^{2} -4(-3)(-10) = 16-120=-104

Therefore our discriminant is less than zero and we know<u> that our equation will have two solutions in the complex numbers. </u>

To proceed to solve the equation we will use the general formula

x₁= (-b+√b²-4ac)/2a

so x₁ = \frac{-4+\sqrt{-104} }{2(-3)} \\\frac{-4+\sqrt{-104} }{-6}\\\frac{-4+2\sqrt{-26} }{-6} \\\frac{-4+2i\sqrt{26} }{-6} \\\frac{2}{3} -\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}

The second solution x₂ = (-b-√b²-4ac)/2a

so x₂=\frac{-4-\sqrt{-104} }{2(-3)} \\\frac{-4-\sqrt{-104} }{-6}\\\frac{-4-2\sqrt{-26} }{-6} \\\frac{-4-2i\sqrt{26} }{-6} \\\frac{2}{3} +\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}

These are our two solutions in the imaginary numbers.

Answer:

First picture - 20.42 m

Second picture - 12.9 m

Step-by-step explanation:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Formula for pyramid:

V=b^2\frac{h}3

Where,

b = base - 3.5 m

h = height - 5 m

Thus,

V=3.5^2\frac{5}{3}

20.41667m^3 ≈ 20.42m^3

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Formula for pyramid:

V=b^2\frac{h}3

Where,

b = base - 3 m

h = height - 4.3 m

Thus,

V = 3^2\frac{4.3}{3}

12.9m^3
