The easiest way to solve this problem is by using the Pythagorean theorem :D
Pythagorean theorem: [-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a
5 = a
-1 = b
6 = c
therefore, by plugging these values in!
[-(-1) +- sqrt((-1)^2 - 4(5)(6))]/2(5)
[1 +- sqrt(1 - 120)]/10
Oh so we're using imaginary numbers, so in this case you'll need to know that i = sqrt(-1), so keep this in mind (I can see why this was so difficult)
[1 +- sqrt(119)*i]10
answers:
( 1 + i*sqrt(119) ) / 10
( 1 - i*sqrt(119) ) / 10
Answer:
area = 21 feet^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a triangle is 1/2(base*height)
1/2(6*7) = area
1/2(42) = area
area = 21 feet^2
-x(3x-10)=8
-3x^2+10x=8 (DISTRIBUTE)
-3x^2+10x-8=0 (BALANCE TO ZERO)
(-3x+4)(x-2)=0 (FACTOR)
(-x+4/3)(x-2)=0 (SIMPLIFY)
{x=2 OR x= 4/3}
