Answer:
x = -1, x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the equation. (It's a difference of squares, so we know the form will be (a-b)(a+b).)
Test this by FOILing it out, if you're unsure. This is something it can be good to memorize!
Set it equal to 0.
Separate the two parenthetical expressions by the Zero Product Property.
Solve for x!
The part of the quadratic formula that dictates whether the function is factorable or not is B. b^2 - 4ac. This determines the number of real, imaginary, negative and positive roots.
In the equation <span>2x^2 + 7x + 3,
we use the quadratic formula
x = -b +- sqrt (b2 -4ac) /2a = -7 +- </span><span>sqrt (49 -24) /4
the answers are x1 =-0.5 and x2 = -3.</span>

The best option is the first one (Six yards of rope costs $5.50). It is the lowest unit cost.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
For the given question case, first we should compare the unit costs of the choices provided and evaluate the best option.
Choice 1:
Six yards of rope costs $ 5.50
Choice 2:
Four yards costs $ 4.75
Thus, the best choice is the first one. Because it is the lowest unit cost.
