Answer:
( - 7 + √17 ) / 2, ( - 7 - √17 ) / 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 = - 7x - 8
x^2 + 7x + 8 = 0
Here,
a = 1
b = 7
c = 8
D = b^2 - 4ac
= 7^2 - 4 ( 1 ) ( 8 )
= 49 - 32
D = 17
x = - b ± √D / 2a
= - 7 ± √17 / 2 ( 1 )
x = ( - 7 + √17 ) / 2, ( - 7 - √17 ) / 2
The first column has 10 cubes.
The question states that the other two columns each have 4 fewer cubes than the first column.
10 - 4 = 6
This means that each of the other 2 columns have 6 cubes each.
Column 1: 10 Cubic units
Column 2: 6 Cubic units
Column 3: 6 Cubic units
10 + 6 + 6 = 22
Anna’s Figure has 22 Cubic Units
The answer to this question is d
the answer your looking for is 10
