D<x =8 18+6 is 24 and 24/3 is 8
<span>2 square root (x - 5) = 2. 2^2 (x -5) = 2^2. 4(x - 5) = 4. 4x - 20 = 4. 4x = 24. x = 6. This solution is not extraneous, because extraneous solutions emerge from solving the problem but are not actually valid solutions for the initial problem. With rounding, this solution is valid for the initial problem.</span>
The formula to finding a discriminant would be b^2-4ac, the b value of this trinomial being -5, the a value being 2, the c value being 3. Then, you plug the values in the equation and solve: (-5)^2-4(2)(3)
This would simplify to 1, meaning there are two solutions since the discriminant value is positive. If it is 0, there is one solution, if it is negative, then there are no real solutions.
Check the picture below on the left-side.
we know the central angle of the "empty" area is 120°, however the legs coming from the center of the circle, namely the radius, are always 6, therefore the legs stemming from the 120° angle, are both 6, making that triangle an isosceles.
now, using the "inscribed angle" theorem, check the picture on the right-side, we know that the inscribed angle there, in red, is 30°, that means the intercepted arc is twice as much, thus 60°, and since arcs get their angle measurement from the central angle they're in, the central angle making up that arc is also 60°, as in the picture.
so, the shaded area is really just the area of that circle's "sector" with 60°, PLUS the area of the circle's "segment" with 120°.
