The solution to given quadratic equation is x = -0.3851 or x = 10.3851

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given equation is:

-4x^2 + 40x + 16 = 0

To find: solve by quadratic equation formula

\text {For a quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0, \text { where } a \neq 0\\\\x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}

Using the above formula,

\text{ For} -4x^2 + 40x + 16 = 0 \text{ we have } a = -4 ; b = 40 ; c = 16

<u><em>Substituting the values of a = -4 ; b = 40 ; c = 16 in above quadratic formula we get,</em></u>

\begin{aligned}&x=\frac{-40 \pm \sqrt{40^{2}-4(-4)(16)}}{2 \times-4}\\\\&x=\frac{-40 \pm \sqrt{1600+256}}{-8}\\\\&x=\frac{-40 \pm 43.081}{-8}\\\\&x=\frac{-40+43.081}{-8} \text { or } x=\frac{-40-43.081}{-8}\\\\&x=-0.3851 \text { or } x=10.3851\end{aligned}

Thus the solution to given quadratic equation is x = - 0.3851 or x = 10.3851

Determine the number of possible triangles, ABC, that can be formed given A = 150°, a = 7, and b = 4.
GREYUIT [131]
1.

When  you have the length of two sides and the angle between them, the triangle is totally determined. This is, there is only one segment that can complete the triangle: its length and position is totally fixed.
