I believe you need to solve this using the quadratic formula!
To begin, this is what it is:
x= -b ± <span>√ b^2 - 4ac / 2a
Just plug in what you have in your problem...
2 being a, 13 being b, and -24 being c.
So we get:
x= -13 </span>± <span>√13^2 - 4(2)(-24) / 2(2)
x= -13 </span><span>± √169 - 8 (-24) / 4</span>
<span>x= -13 <span>± √169 + 192 / 4</span>
x= -13 </span>± √<span>361 / 4
The square root of 361 is 19.
So you have: -13 </span><span>± 19 / 4.
Here's where you take the equation </span>-13 <span>± 19 and put the addition and subtraction sign to use.
-13 - 19 = -32
and
-13 + 19 = 6
Now all is left to do is divide the two numbers by 4.
-32/4 = -8
and
6/4 = 3/2
x = -8, 3/2</span>
So what will it be a percentage of? it will be the percentage of the original recruits, of the original 150.
for this, we need to divide the number of recruits that left over all recruits, and multiply by 100%:

so the number of trainees decreased by 20 %

Answer:
(7√6)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The side ratios in these special triangles are ...
30°-60°-90° triangle: 1 : √3 : 2
45°-45°-90° triangle: 1 : 1 : √2
This tells you the length of the horizontal line is 7√3, and the value of x is ...
(7√3)/√2 = (7√6)/2
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Call the length of the horizontal line "y". Then the given ratios tell you ...
7 : y = 1 : √3 ⇒ y/7 = √3/1 ⇒ y = 7√3
and
x : y = 1 : √2 ⇒ x/y = 1/√2 ⇒ x = y/√2
When we rationalize the denominator, we get ...
x = (y√2)/2 = ((7√3)√2)/2 = (7√6)/2
