The quadratic formula is the result of completing the square for ax^2+bx+c=0 and it is:

x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/(2a) in this case:

x=(2±√(4-4(5)(-11))/(2(5))

x=(2±√224)/10

x=(2±4√14)/10

x=(1±2√14)/5

x≈(-1.30, 1.70) (to three significant figures)

36a^2+24b^2=12( +2b^2)

vlabodo [156]

The blank space is found by dividing 36a^2 by 12, which is equal to 3a^2
To get to this answer you need to
1. divide the both sides of the equation by 12.
2. subtract 2b^2 from both sides.
You will see that the blank space equals 3a<span>^2 then</span>

A right rectangular pyramid is sliced parallel to the base, as shown.

ELEN [110]

The answer would be the first choice. $15 cm^{2}$

Explanation: The reason for this is that the question was pretty much just asking what the area of the resulting two-dimensional cross section would be -the shape in gray- (which can be found by using the formula $lw$ . To add on, since the dimensions of the shape are already given (5 and 3) all you've to do is multiply: 3*5=15
