Add 3 to both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 5x + 5 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
x = [ -5 ± √(5^2 - 4(-2)(5)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
x = [-5 ± √(25 - (-40) ) ] / ( -4 )
x = [-5 ± √(65) ] / ( -4)
x = [-5 ± sqrt(65) ] / ( -4 )
x = 5/4 ± -sqrt(65)/4
The answers are 5/4 + sqrt(65)/4 and 5/4 - sqrt(65)/4..
The length of the rope needed is 15 feet
Given the following parameters;
- Height of the pole = 9 foot
- The distance from the <u>rope away from the base </u>of the pole is 12 feet
Required
To get the length of the rope, you will use the pythagoras theorem expressed as:
Substituting the given parameters:
c² = 9² + 12²
c² =81 + 144
c² = 225
c = √225
c = 15 feet
Therefore the length of the rope needed is 15 feet

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Congruent triangles are triangles with the same three sides and same three angles.
There many ways to determine if 2 triangles are congruent.
One of them is <u>ASA</u> or <u>Angle, Side, Angle</u> and it means that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles and side on the other triangle, they are congruent.
In this case, angle MRQ and angle NQR are equal. The included side of both triangles are the same QR, so it can be concluded that <em><u>triangle QNR is congruent to triangle RMQ.</u></em>
The image in the attachment shows the angles and their included side, which are colored.
Answer:
think the answer is E but not 100%. been a while. let me know either way
