To solve this equation , we need to write it in quadratic form

To get the equation in quadratic form we replace x^2 with u

can be written as
, Replace u for x^2
So equation becomes

Now we factor the left hand side
-16 and -1 are the two factors whose product is +16 and sum is -17
(u-16) (u-1) = 0
u -16 = 0 so u=16
u-1 =0 so u=1
WE assume u = x^2, Now we replace u with x^2
Now take square root on both sides , x= +4 and x=-4
Now take square root on both sides , x= +1 and x=-1
So zeros of the function are -4, -1, 1, 4
1/3=2/6 so
6=36/6 and you add 2/6 and 36/6 to get 38/6 or 19/3
Or 38 sixths
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
I believe this is the correct answer. In order to check that my equations are correct I put in some dummy numbers.
a= 2
b=4
c= 
A. y=5+1.5d
b. after 20 days it will be 5+ 1.5 × 20 = 5+ 30= 35 cm
