It looks floppy but you said you need this fast so yeah
Lets see together how it gets done
120 180
160 200
200 220
240 240
so the answer is 3 months
Answer: 16590
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula we use to find the sample size is given by :-
, where p = prior estimate of population proportion.
= Critical z-value (Two- tailed)
E= Margin of error .
Let p be the population proportion of cyanobacteria.
Given : E = 0.01
Critical value for 99% confidence interval : 
If Ian does not want to rely on previous knowledge , then we assume p=0.5 because the largest standard error is at p=0.5.
Now, the required sample size = 

Required sample size = 16590
We need two numbers that when multiplied will give you -40 and when added will give you -3:
(x+5) (x-8) this is your answer. And you want to know the process Here it goes. And attached is a chart I made you so you can visually see what this process is telling you:
1) identify a,b, and c in the trinomial ax^2 + bx+c (in your case it's 1x^2-3x-40= x^2-3x-40)
2) write down all factor pairs of c (numbers that multiplied produce -40)
3) identify which factor pair from the previous step sums up to b
4) Substitute factor pairs into two binomials
