Answer:
The maximum value of the quadratic is 9, it's the very top point or the vertex.
Lets split the box in pieces and then add:
top = 20*15 = 300
sidesA = 2*20*9 = 360, is multiplied by 2 cause there are 2 sides like this
sidesB = 2*9*15 = 270, is multiplied by 2 cause there are 2 sides like this
so in total we have:
total = 300 + 360 + 270 = 930 cm^2
if we express this quantity in mm^2 we have:
<span>1cm² = 100 mm²</span>total = 930*100 = 93000 mm^2
so if the tiles are 5 mm^2 we need:
total tiles = <span>93000/5 = 18600
we need 18600 tiles of 5 mm^2</span>
You will need 86 boxes if all the paperweights are packed in boxes.
Hope This Helps!
first step is to subtract 21 from both sides
2m+21-21=3-21
2m=-18
2m/2 and -18/2
m=-9
So the final answer is m=-9 (negative nine equals m)
