Answer: x = 4 twice

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is expressed as

2x^2 - 16x + 32 = 0

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 2, it becomes

x^2 - 8x + 16 = 0

We would find two numbers such that their sum or difference is -8x and their product is 16x^2. The two numbers are - 4x and - 4x. They,

x^2 - 4x - 4x + 16 = 0

x(x - 4) - 4(x - 4) = 0

x - 4 = 0 or x- 4 = 0

x = 4 twice

Answer: A) 45 ft

Step-by-step

The yardstick is 3ft tall since 1 yard = 3ft. It is 3 times as tall as its shadow. The tree has a 15ft long shadow. The tree should also be 3 times as tall as its shadow. The tree is 15*3ft tall, so it is 45ft tall. I attached an image of the diagram I made.
