Δ=88
1) Using the Quadratic Equation to Solve
3x²-8x+1=3
3x²-8x+1-3=3-3
3x² -8x -2=0
2)Let's find the discriminant
Δ= (-8)²-4(3)(-2)
Δ=64 -4(3)(-2)
Δ=88
<span>So you need to find the value of x that would make these equal.
2+x = 6+0.5x Subtract 0.5x from both sides.
2+0.5x = 6 Now subtract 2 from both sides.
0.5x = 4 Finally, divide both sides by 0.5
x = 8
So in 8 years, the two trees will be the same height.</span>
