For this case we have that by definition, the roots, or also called zeros, of the quadratic function are those values of x for which the expression is 0.
Then, we must find the roots of:
Where:
We have to:
Substituting we have:
By definition we have to:
So:
Thus, we have two roots:
Answer:
First, let's calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the wind speed (W) and the airplane speed (A), knowing that south is a bearing of 270° and northeast is a bearing of 45°:
Now, let's add the components of the same direction:
To find the resultant bearing (theta), we can use the formula below:
The angle -86° is equivalent to -86 + 360 = 274°.
Therefore the correct option is b.
