For this case we have the following quadratic equation:

6w ^ 2-7w-20 = 0

Where:

a = 6\\b = -7\\c = -20

Its roots will be given by:

w = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2 (a)}\\w = \frac {- (- 7) \pm \sqrt {(- 7) ^ 2-4 (6) (- 20)}} {2 (6)}\\w = \frac {7 \pm \sqrt {49 + 480}} {12}\\w = \frac {7 \pm \sqrt {529}} {12}\\w = \frac {7 \pm23} {12}

The roots are:

w_ {1} = \frac {7 + 23} {12} = \frac {30} {12} = \frac {15} {6} = \frac {5} {2}\\w_ {2} = \frac {7-23} {12} = \frac {-16} {12} = - \frac {8} {6} = - \frac {4} {3}

Answer:

w_ {1} = \frac {5} {2}\\w_ {2} = - \frac {4} {3}

ANSWER

{w} = \frac{5}{2}\: or \: w = - \frac{4}{3}

EXPLANATION

We want to solve the equation:

6 {w}^{2} - 7w - 20 = 0

Let us use the method of factorization

Split the middle term;

6 {w}^{2} -1 5w + 8w- 20 = 0

Factor by grouping:

3w( {w} - 5)w + 4(2w- 5) = 0

Factor further,

( {2w} - 5)(3w + 4) = 0

Use the zero product principle.

( {2w} - 5) = 0 \: or \: (3w + 4) = 0

{2w} = 5\: or \: 3w = - 4

The solution is:

{w} = \frac{5}{2}\: or \: w = - \frac{4}{3}

What is the surface area of the solid shown below?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

\text{C. }156\:\mathrm{cm^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the triangular prism consists of three rectangles and two triangles.

Rectangle One - 5 x 12 = 60 cm^2

Rectangle Two - 4 x 12 = 48 cm^2

Rectangle Three - 3 x 12 = 36 cm^2

Triangles - 2 x 1/2 x 3 x 4 = 12 cm^2

Thus, the total surface area of the solid is 60+48+36+12=\boxed{\text{C. }156\:\mathrm{cm^3}}
