You would be able to fill 9 celery pieces
which simplifies to
Since we want it in the form: (x - a)², let's first expand (x - a)² and then equate for the coefficients.
(x - a)² = x² - 2ax + a²
x² + 4x - 15 = x² - 2ax + a²
Now, let's focus on the middle term.
4x = -2ax
4 = -2a
a = -2
Thus, we know that a = -2
Then, we can say (x + 2)² = x² + 4x - 15
x² + 4x + 4 = x² + 4x - 15
Thus, 19 units are needed in order to complete the square to produce:
(x + 2)²
Answer: Option D. 1,778
Solution:
Standard brick:
Width: w=3.625 in
Height: h=2.25 in
Length: l=7.625 in
Volumen of one standard brick: v
v=w*h*l
v=(3.625 in)*(2.25 in)*(7.625 in)
v=62.19140625 in^3
Pallet of bricks:
Side: s=4 feet
s=(4 feet)*(12 in / 1 feet)→s=48 in
Volume of a pallet of bricks: V=s^3
V=(48 in)^3
V=110,592 in^3
Number of bricks could be in a pallet: n
n=V/v
n=(110,592 in^3) / (62.19140625 in^3)
n=1,778.252119
n=1,778
