Answer:
Length = 30√2 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a plot of land of square shape that has 30 yards on each side. Jules owns this plot. He plans to divide the land in half by building a fence along the diagonal of the plot.
We have to calculate the length of the fence.
Now, the length of the diagonal will be the length of the fence.
So, the length = yards. (Answer)
Answer:
A quadratic equation can be written as:
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0.
where a, b and c are real numbers.
The solutions of this equation can be found by the equation:
Where the determinant is D = b^2 - 4*a*c.
Now, if D>0
we have the square root of a positive number, which will be equal to a real number.
√D = R
then the solutions are:
Where each sign of R is a different solution for the equation.
If D< 0, we have the square root of a negative number, then we have a complex component:
√D = i*R
We have two complex solutions.
If D = 0
√0 = 0
then:
We have only one real solution (or two equal solutions, depending on how you see it)
