So each foot is 12 inches so to remove 8 feet to get 12 in you need to remove 8 times 12 inches total or 96 in and each cut removes 1/8 in so times 96 by 8 and get 768 total cuts
The roots are 1 +√7 and 1 -√7.
<h3>What is Quadratic equation?</h3>
A quadratic equation in the variable x is an equation of the form ax² + bx + c= 0, where a, b, c are real numbers, a≠0
Given equation:
y= x²+2x-6
First,
Half the coefficient of x and add and subtract the square of (b/2)
y= x²+2x-6+(1)²-(1)²
y= x²+2x+(1)² -6 -(1)²
y= (x+1)² -7
Now, equate y=0
(x+1)² -7 =0
(x+1)² = 7
x+1= ±√7
x=1 ±√7
Hence, the roots are 1 +√7 and 1 -√7.

The building that I would imagine would be 40 stories, about 404 feet tall perhaps. If he were to throw the donut from that distance until the ground, catching it would be impossible. So no, I am not confident in catching the donut all the way there.
