The formula for the discriminant is b^2-4ac. The formula you wote is in the form of
ax^2+c=0, so first, you need to bring that -2 to the left. When you do that, you get (the original equation would be ax^2+bx+c but you have no bx.)
3x^2-8
So, since there's no b, it would be
b^2-4ac
0^2-4(3)(-8
-12 x -8
96
Answer:
the independent variable is amount being paid per hour, as the final outcomes relys on that answer. the dependent variable is the hours worked, as thats the variable that can be changed.
Let
x-----> the measure of the angle formed by the wooden fence and grass
we know that
in a right triangle
tan x=opposite side angle x/adjacent side angle x
opposite side angle x=13 ft
adjacent side angle x=21 ft
so
tan x=13/21x=arc tan (13/21)-----> x=31.76°------> x=32°
the answer is
32 degrees
if you add 4 to it then you would get 8
