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.
Answer:
40 yard
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of pyramid:

A - base area
H - height
First count volume of one pyramid:
![V=\dfrac{1}{3} \cdot 3 \cdot 4=4 [\hbox{inch}^3]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=V%3D%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%20%5Ccdot%203%20%5Ccdot%204%3D4%20%5B%5Chbox%7Binch%7D%5E3%5D)
So by using 576 inch^3 you can make 576 : 4 =
144 pyramids
