First set everything to 0.
Giving you A= 1 , B= 1 and C= -5
Then input everything into the quadratic formula and either solve by hand or use a calculator.
Note exact values are found by hand, decimals are found using a calculator.
Given a quadratic equation 
, we define the discriminant as
The number of real solutions of the equation depend on the sign of 
:
- If
the equation has two solutions - If
the equation has one double solution - If
the equation has no real solutions
In this case, we have
And so this equation has no real solutions.

Answer: x = 25</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
Add up the parallel sides, and divide by 2
x = (15+35)/2
x = (50)/2
x = 25
The midsegment is the average of the two parallel sides.
Let <span>sin(90° - )------------------------ > sin (90-x)
</span>sin(a - b<span>) = sin a*cos b - cos a*sin b
</span><span>so
</span>sin(90 - x) = sin 90*cos x - cos 90 * sin x
sin(90 - x) = 1*cos x - 0* sin x-------- > cos x
the answer is the option <span>D. cos()</span><span>
</span>
