Any equation of the form $\rm ax^2+bx+c=0$ where x is variable and a, b, and c are any real numbers where a ≠ 0 is called a quadratic equation.

As we know, the formula for the roots of the quadratic equation is given by:

$\rm x = \dfrac{-b \pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

We have an equation:

x(x + 4) = 6

By distributive property:

x² + 4x = 6

x² + 4x - 6 = 0

a = 1, b = 4, c = -6

Plugging all the values in the formula:

$\rm x = \dfrac{-4 \pm\sqrt{4^2-4(1)(-6)}}{2(1)}$

After calculating:

$\rm x = \dfrac{-4 \pm\sqrt{40}}{2}$

$\rm x=-2+\sqrt{10},\ \ \ or \ \ \ x=-2-\sqrt{10}$

Thus, the solution to the equation x(x+4) = 6 is x = -2 + √10 or x = -2 - √10 after solving with the quadratic formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical advantage can be defined using distances:

Mechanical advantage = input distance / output distance

Or it can be defined using forces:

Mechanical advantage = output force / input force

Solving for the output force:

Output force = mechanical advantage × input force

Plugging in values:

Output force = 2.2 × 202 N

Output force = 444.4 N
