Solve 2a 2 - 3a - 2 = 0

{-1/2, 2}
{1/2, -2}
{}

Apply slip and slide
a^2-3a-4
(a-4)(a+1)
(a-2)(2a+1)

Find zeros
a-2=0
a=2

2a+1=0
2a=-1
a=-1/2

Final {-1/2, 2}

Answer: d. 39 cmin the diagram, the approximate length of the minor arc de is 39 centimetres.step-by-step explanation: the formula for the length of an arc in a circle is as displayed below.let the length of the minor arc de = xx = 2( pi )r × angle of sector / 360°from this, we will substitute the values given from the problem into the formula to obtain the length of the minor arc de.x = 2( pi )r × angle of sector / 360°r = radius = 25cmpi as an approximate value = 3.14angle of sector = 120°x = 2( 3.14 )( 25 ) × 120° / 360°x = 157 × 1 / 4x = 39.25x = 39 ( rounded to the nearest whole number as an approximate value )
