Solve this quadratic equation.4x2 - 100x + 264 = 0Using the Quadratic Formula, substitute the coefficients for a, b, and c andsolve for x.xb ±b24ac2ax( 100) ±( 100)24(4)(264)2(4)x100 ±10,0004,2248x100 ±5,7768x100 ± 768x100768,100768x1768,248x22, 3The two roots are x = 22 feet and x = 3 feet. Since x = 22 feet is notphysically meaningful, the answer is x = 3 feet.Rev. 0 Page 61 MA-02
