Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to factor your quadratic equation. You'll get (2x+1)(2x+1). Your two zeroes will be -1/2 and -1/2 with one being a, the other b. So then

a/b = (-1/2)/(-1/2)

and

b/a = (-1/2)/(-1/2)

Both reduce to 1. So a/b + b/a is 1+1=2

STatiana [176]
To determine the correct statement in the choices presented, we first have to solve the area of the tray. We assume it to be in a rectangular form so the area is:

Area = 10 in x 10 in x 7/2.54 in = 275.59 in³ for the paint tray
1 gallon paint = 231 in³ paint

Therefore, the correct answer is the first option. <span>The paint will not fill the tray by 44.59 in</span>³<span>.</span>
