Answer:
76
Step-by-step explanation:
recall that for a quadratic equation in the form
ax² + bx + c = 0, the discriminant is given by
discriminant, D = b²- 4ac
we are given the following:
-6x² + 2x + 3 = 0,
comparing this with the general equation above, it is clear that,
a = -6, b = 2 and c = 3,
substituting these into our equation for discriminant:
D = b²- 4ac
= 2² - 4(-6)(3)
= 4 + 72
= 76
Check the picture below. Recall, is an open-top box, so, the top is not part of the surface area, of the 300 cm². Also, recall, the base is a square, thus, length = width = x.

so.. that'd be the V(x) for such box, now, where is the maximum point at?
![\bf V(x)=75x-\cfrac{1}{4}x^3\implies \cfrac{dV}{dx}=75-\cfrac{3}{4}x^2\implies 0=75-\cfrac{3}{4}x^2 \\\\\\ \cfrac{3}{4}x^2=75\implies 3x^2=300\implies x^2=\cfrac{300}{3}\implies x^2=100 \\\\\\ x=\pm10\impliedby \textit{is a length unit, so we can dismiss -10}\qquad \boxed{x=10}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20V%28x%29%3D75x-%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7Dx%5E3%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7BdV%7D%7Bdx%7D%3D75-%5Ccfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7Dx%5E2%5Cimplies%200%3D75-%5Ccfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7Dx%5E2%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A%5Ccfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7Dx%5E2%3D75%5Cimplies%203x%5E2%3D300%5Cimplies%20x%5E2%3D%5Ccfrac%7B300%7D%7B3%7D%5Cimplies%20x%5E2%3D100%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0Ax%3D%5Cpm10%5Cimpliedby%20%5Ctextit%7Bis%20a%20length%20unit%2C%20so%20we%20can%20dismiss%20-10%7D%5Cqquad%20%5Cboxed%7Bx%3D10%7D)
now, let's check if it's a maximum point at 10, by doing a first-derivative test on it. Check the second picture below.
so, the volume will then be at
When I solved it I got 26648.8
Given:
The expressions are:
![6+3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=6%2B3)
![6+(-4)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=6%2B%28-4%29)
![6+(-6)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=6%2B%28-6%29)
To find:
The value of given expression by using integer tiles.
Solution:
We have,
![6+3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=6%2B3)
Here, both number are positive. When we add 6 and 3 positive integer tiles, we get 9 positive integer tiles as shown in the below figure. So,
![6+3=9](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=6%2B3%3D9)
Similarly,
![6+(-4)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=6%2B%28-4%29)
Here, 6 is positive and -4 is negative. It means we have 6 positive integer tiles and 4 negative integer tiles.
When we cancel the positive and negative integer tiles, we get 2 positive integer tiles as shown in the below figure. So,
![6+(-4)=2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=6%2B%28-4%29%3D2)
![6+(-6)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=6%2B%28-6%29)
Here, 6 is positive and -6 is negative. It means we have 6 positive integer tiles and 6 negative integer tiles.
When we cancel the positive and negative integer tiles, we get 0 integer tiles as shown in the below figure. So,
![6+(-6)=0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=6%2B%28-6%29%3D0)
Therefore,
