Answer:

  x = -4, 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic can be solved may ways, including graphing, factoring, and the quadratic formula. You can also check possible answers by making use of the relationships between solutions and the coefficients.

__

A graph is attached. It shows the solutions to be -4 and 5/2.

__

When factored, the equation becomes ...

  (2x -5)(x +4) = 0 . . . . . has solutions x=-4, x=5/2 (these make the factors zero)

__

Using the quadratic formula, the solutions of ax^2 +bx +c = 0 are found from ...

  x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)

  x = (-3±√(3²-4(2)(-20))/(2(2)) = (-3±√169)/4 = {-16, +10}/4

  x = {-4, 5/2}

__

For ax^2 +bx +c = 0, the solutions must satisfy ...

  product of solutions is c/a = -20/2 = -10

Only the first and last choices have this product.

  sum of solutions is -b/a = -3/2

Only the first choice (-4, 5/2) has this sum.

Plz help with this math. Can't find the area of the triangular faces.
Zina [86]
First of all, you have to find the area of both triangles:
\frac{bh}{2}
\frac{4*4}{2}
Or just 16 because there are 2 of the same triangles.

Now you have to find the area of the 3 rectangles.

The two that are in the front are 4*3 (l*h) or 12*2 (because there are 2 congruent rectangles. The area of those rectangles is 24 square mm.

Now you find the area of the back rectangle:
5.7*3 = 17.1

Finally, you add all the found numbers to figure out the surface area.
17.1 + 16 + 24 = 57.1 square millimeters.

Hope this helped,

To find the amount of solutions, you must find the discriminant. The discriminant is b^2 - 4ac. Number 6 has 2 solutions and number 7 has 1 solution.

What is the formula to calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism with a cube removed?
ch4aika [34]
<span> 2ab + 2bc + 2ac the formula for the rectangular prism and i'm guessing you would find the answer to this than you would find your formula for the cube which is </span><span><span>6 a </span>2 and you would find that answer. 
</span>You would take your total for the rectangular prism answer and subtract the cube answer from it and you would probably get your answer. 
hope that helped?!

PLEASE HELP I DONT KNOW :(!!!!!!!!! I dont understand what to do......
Talja [164]
54153 square miles is equivalent to 34657920 acres. 750000 divided by 34657920 is about 0.022, which is also 2.2%

98 million divided by 750000 is about 1306.67, so the population density of the trees is 1306.67 trees per acre

292 million divided by 98 million is very close to 3, so about 3 boxes were produced per tree, on average
