Answer: 24.99 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can find the angle A as following:

A=arctan(\frac{5}{8})\\A=32\°

2. Now, you can calculate the height of the tree as following:

tan(A)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Where:

A=32°

opposite=x

adjacent=40

3. When you substitute values and solve for x, you obtain that the height of the tree in feet is:

tan(A)=\frac{x}{40}\\x=40*tan(32\°)\\x=24.99

What is the value of b2 - 4ac for the following equation?<br><br> 2x2 + 3x = -1
andreyandreev [35.5K]
The value of b^2-4ac is known as the discriminant of a quadratic function, and can tell you how many roots exist of this function depending on what it is equal to.

Start by moving the -1 to the other side, as we need this function to equal zero.

2x^2 + 3x + 1 = 0

This is now the standard form ax^2 + bx + c = 0. Plug each value that corresponds into the discriminant equation.

b^2-4ac
(3)^2 - 4(2)(1)
9 - 8
1

The value of the discriminant is 1, meaning that two real roots exist for the function described.
