Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0
(x - 2)(x + 5) = 0
x - 2 = 0 x + 5 = 0
x = 2 x = -5
smaller x = -5
larger x = 2
Surface area = 2(12*12+15*12+15*12) = 1008
1008 * 4 = 4032
Given:
15% of its height each day
27 inches on day 10.
How tall was it yesterday?
27 represents 115% of the height yesterday. So we divided 27 by 115% to get yesterdays height.
27 ÷ 115% = 23.48 inches.
The plant was 23.48 inches tall yesterday.
To check:
23.48 x 15% = 3.52 inches
23.48 + 3.52 = 27 inches
Answer: 138
