Calculate the discriminant and use it to determine how many real-number roots the equation has.

1 answer:

4 0

In a quadratic equation with the general formula of:

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

The discriminant is equal to b^2 - 4(a)(c). If the answer is a perfect square, then there are two real numbers. If not, then there are no real number root.

The discriminant for this equation is

(-6)^2 - 4(3)(1) = 24

Since 24 is not a perfect square, there are no real number roots.

How do you solve the height?

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

If you know the base and area of the triangle, you can divide the base by 2, then divide that by the area to find the height. To find the height of an equilateral triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
