Answer:

a = 6 or 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The "a", "b", and "c" of the quadratic formula are the coefficients of a², a, and the constant term in the given equation:

... a = 2, b = -30, c = 108

Then the quadratic formula tells you the solutions are ...

... (-b ± √(b² -4ac))/(2a)

... = (-(-30) ± √((-30)² -4(2)(108)))/(2(2))

... = (30 ± √(900 -864))/4

... = (30 ± √36)/4

... = (30 ± 6)/4 = {24, 36}/4

... = {6, 9}

_____

The <em>a</em> variable should not be confused with the "a" that is used to name the coefficient of the square of the variable in the quadratic formula. If it is too confusing, rewrite one or the other. For example, you could write ...

... The solution to pa² +qa +r = 0 is ... a = (-q ± √(q²-4pr))/(2p)

where p=2, q=-30, r=108 in the given equation.

Pen are shipped to the office supply store in boxes of 12 each. Write a function rule to calculate the total number of pens when
Tom [10]

p = 12x is the  function rule to calculate the total number of pens when you know the number of boxes

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Pen are shipped to the office supply store in boxes of 12 each

To find: Write a function rule to calculate the total number of pens when you know the number of boxes

Let "p" be the total number of pens

Let "x" be the number of boxes

Number of pens in each box = 12

Then from given information,

Total number of pens = Number of boxes multiplied by number of pens in each box

p = x \times 12\\\\p = 12x

Thus the function rule is found
