Answer:
-2 +/- [(sqrt 88)/ 4]
or
0.35, -4.35 to the nearest hundredth.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2 + 8x - 3 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
x = [ -8 +/- sqrt (8^2 - 4*2*-3) ] / 4
= -2 +/- (sqrt 88)/ 4
Cross section is the area you make when you make a cut across a shape. In this case, the cut must be parallel to the base. Hence, the cut shape would be same to that of the base. The base's dimensions are 7 cm long x 5 cm wide. Thus, the cross section area is 35 square centimeters.
Do you have a picture for this problem? There are multiple different ways to solve this problem but I'll need a picture to help you.
That number is closer to 700,000 than 185,505 for example, because it is a bigger number. Hope that makes sense.
