My estimated answer for 1 is x=1.59 or x=-1.26 and my exact answer is (in word form) x= 1 plus or minus the square root of 73 over 6. my estimated answer for 2 is x=-0.34 or x=1.74 and my exact answer (in word form) is x= -7 plus or minus the square root of 109 over -10. I took a picture of my work and hopefully you can read it
I need a point to this question in order to answer it
The volume is 214*8*2012
=3,444,544
The answer is (5x - 4y)(2a + b)
10ax + 5bx - 8ay - 4by = 10ax + 5bx - (8ay + 4by) =<span>
= 5x * 2a + 5x * b - (2a * 4y + b * 4y) =
= 5x(2a + b) - 4y(2a + b) =
= (5x - 4y)(2a + b)</span>
