Base-ten units are used to represent numbers in blocks
<h3>How to represent the bundle of toothpicks</h3>
The bundle is given as:
Bundle = 62
Rewrite as:
Bundle = 60 + 2
Express 60 as a product
Bundle = 6 * 10 + 2
See attachment for the drawing that represents the bundle
<h3>Ways to interpret the 6 in 62</h3>
The 6 in 62 can be interpreted in the following ways

The Number of boys in the class is: 18
Let's call "g" to the number of girls in the class.
The problem says that there is "w" fewer boys than girls, so we have:
g-w=18
Then, the number of girls in the class is:
g=18+w
Let's call "x" to the total number of studens in the class:
x=g+18
When we substitute g=18+w into x=g+18, we obtain:
x= (18+w)+18
The total number of studens in the class is:
x=w+36
The zeros for this function are -2, -1 and a double root of 0.
You can find this by first factoring the polynomial on the inside of the parenthesis. Polynomials like this can be factored by looking for two numbers that multiply to the constant (2) and add up to the second coefficient (3). The numbers 2 and 1 satisfy both of those needs and thus can be used as the numbers in a factoring.
x^2(x^2 + 3x + 2)
x^2(x + 2)(x + 1)
Now to find the zeros, we set each part equal to 0. You may want to split the x^2 into two separate x's for this purpose.
(x)(x)(x + 2)(x + 1)
x = 0
x = 0
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
x + 1 = 0
x = -1
Idk I just need to answer some more questions
the roots are -1/2 and -5
the smaller root would be -5 since its further away from the 0
