We can factorize the quadratic as

3x^2 + 4x - 12 = 3 (x - r) (x - s)

and expand the right side to get

3x^2 + 4x - 12 = 3x^2 - 3(r + s) x + 3rs

\implies r + s = -\dfrac43 \text{ and } rs = -4

Then we find

(r + s)^2 = r^2 + 2rs + s^2 \implies r^2 + s^2 = \left(-\dfrac43\right)^2 - 2(-4) = \boxed{\dfrac{88}9}

Answer:

Yes it would

Step-by-step explanation:

Lanie's room is in the shape of a parallelogram.

Lanie has a rectangular rug that is 6 feet wide and 10 feet long.

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Area of the rectangular rug = 10 feet × 6 feet

= 60 square feet

We are told that:

The floor of her room is shown below and has an area of 108 square feet.

Hence, the rug would fit on the floor of her room because it's area is within the area of the floor of her room.
