Answer: x = 6.32 or -0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 6x + 10  = 0

No we divide the expression by 2 to make the coefficient of x² equals 1

We now have

x² - 3x + 5     = 0

Now we remove 5 to the other side of the equation

x² - 3x          = -5

we add to both side square of  half the coefficient of x which is 3

x² - 3x + ( ⁻³/₂)²  = -5 + (⁻³/₂)²

(x  -  ³/₂)²           = -5 + ⁹/₄

Resolve into fraction

(x  - ³/₂)²             = ⁻¹¹/4

Take the roots of the equation

 x - ³/₂               = √¹¹/₄

 x - ³/₂               = √11/₂

x                       = ³/₂ ± 3.32/₂

                         = 3+ 3.32 or 3 - 3.32

                         =  6.32 or - 0.32

A water tower casts a 100- foot shadow. At the same time, an 8- foot street sign casts a shadow of 6 feet. what is the height of
Elina [12.6K]
Set up and solve an equation of ratios.  Comparing shadow lengths, we get 100/6; comparing heights, we get x/8.  Set these two ratios equal to one another and solve the resulting equation for x:

100       x
----- = ------      Then 6x=800, and x = 800 feet^2 over 6 feet.  Your answer 
   6        8

must have the unit of measurement "ft."
