Answer:

no real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is

b^2 -4ac

Where ax^ +bx+c

x^2-3x+4

so a=1 b = -3 c=4

(-3)^2 -4(1)(4)

9 - 16

-7

Since the discriminant is less than 0 there are no real solutions

goblinko [34]

Answer:

B. 2 (Second Option)

Step-by-step explanation:

Four times: ⇒ 4

Number:⇒ y

4y+3=11

Subtract by 3 both sides of equation.

4y+3-3=11-3

Simplify.

11-3=8

4y=8

Divide by 4 both sides of equation.

4y/4=8/4

SImplify, to find the answer.

8/4=2

y=2 is the correct answer.

2 is the correct answer.

Prudence is creating a garden in her backyard. She wants it to be the shape of an equilateral triangle with sides of length 20 f

algol [13]

Answer:

The area of the triangular garden is $173\ ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equilateral triangle has three equal sides and three equal internal angles (the measure of each internal angle is 60 degrees)

The area of a triangle applying the law of sines is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}(a)(b)sin(C)$

In this problem we have a equilateral triangle

therefore

$a=b=20\ ft$

$C=60\°$

substitute

$A=\frac{1}{2}(20)(20)sin(60\°)$

$A=\frac{1}{2}(20)(20)\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\ \\A=100\sqrt{3}\ ft^{2}\\ \\A=173\ ft^{2}$
