Answer:
x^2 -4x +2 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The other root is the conjugate of the given one, so is 2-√2. The quadratic equation in factored form is then ...
(x -2-√2)(x -2+√2) = 0
Expanding this, we get ...
(x -2)^2 -(√2)^2 = 0
x^2 -4x +4 -2 = 0
x^2 -4x +2 = 0 . . . . the equation you're looking for
Answer:
16.4 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 20 feet. The tangent of one of the acute angles, angle , is 1.42. We are asked to find the length of the side opposite angle
.
We can represent our given information in an equation as:
Now, we will use arctan to solve for theta as:
Now, we will use sine to solve for opposite side as sine relates opposite side of right triangle with hypotenuse.
Therefore, the opposite side to angle theta is 16.4 feet.
