Answer:
It will take 5 stages to reach the surface.
Step-by-step explanation:
-225/50=4.5 or what times 4.5 equals -225
Then the problem says to round up so 4.5 becomes 5.
To find the number of even factors, we can multiply the number of odd factors by the power of 2 (not the power of 2 + 1!!!). For 540, we have (3 + 1)(1 + 1)(2) = 16 even factors.

2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0..divide by 2
x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0
x^2 + 4x = 6...add 4 to both sides of the equation
x^2 + 4x + 4 = 6 + 4
(x + 2)^2 = 10....<== ur constant is 10
x + 2 = (+-)sqrt 10
x = -2 (+ - ) sqrt 10
x = -2 + sqrt 10
x = -2 - sqrt 10
