Answer:
The graph crosses the x-axis 2 times
The solutions are x = -8 & x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Qaudratics are in the form 
Where a, b, c are constants
Now, let's arrange this equation in this form:

Where
a = 1
b = 4
c = -32
We need to know the discriminant to know nature of roots. The discriminant is:

If
- D = 0 , we have 2 similar root and there is 2 solutions and that touches the x-axis
- D > 0, we have 2 distinct roots/solutions and both cut the x-axis
- D < 0, we have imaginary roots and it never cuts the x-axis
Let's find value of Discriminant:

Certainly D > 0, so there are 2 distinct roots and cuts the x-axis twice.
We get the roots/solutions by factoring:

Thus,
The graph crosses the x-axis 2 times
The solutions are x = -8 & x = 4
Written as an expression, the statement 'the sum of the square of a number and 34' would look like this:

Answer: 17160 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 5280 feet = 1 mile
So all we have to do is multiply 3 1/4 by 5280
Let's split the 3 and 1/4 up to make the multiplication easier
3×5280=15840
×5280=
Now add them together
15840+1320=17160
