Step-by-step explanation:
The total surface area is 168 square units.
Divide 3 from both sides to get a=57/3 then a=19
the domain is all the real numbers, or (-infinite <x<infinite)
the range is y>=-4
axis of symetry is x= -1
vertex is (-1,-4)
the parabola opens upwards
x intercepts (-3,0) and (1,0)
y intercepts (0,-3)
Please: Use "^" to denote exponentiation: <span>2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0
Reduce this by div. every term by 2: </span><span>x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0
Here a=1, b=4 and c = -6. Square half of b, obtaining (4/2)^2 = 4, and add, and then subtract, this 4 to x^2 + 4x - 6:
</span> x^2 + 4x +4 - 4 - 6 = 0. Rewrite the square as (x+2)^2, obtaining new equation
(x+2)^2 = 10. Take the sqrt of both sides: x+2 = plus or minus sqrt(10).
Finally, solve for x: x = -2 plus or minus sqrt(10).
The height is 22 inches? It says it in the question
