Step-by-step explanation:

(Ax² + Bx + C)²

= (Ax² + Bx + C)(Ax² + Bx + C)

= Ax⁴ + 2ABx³ + 2ACx² + 2BCx + C².

By Comparing Coefficients, we have:

A = 1

2AB = 6

2AC = 7

2BC = a

C² = b

Solving them we get A = 1, B = 3 and C = 3.5.

Therefore a = 2BC = 2(3)(3.5) = 21,

b = C² = (3.5)² = 12.25.

Midway through the fundraiser, Mrs Little, the sponsor, discovers a container of buttermilk in the back of the fridge. It has 6

solong [7]

Answer: 6 recipes

Step-by-step explanation: Just divide the 6 cups of buttermilk by 7/8 because each recipe need 7/8 cup of butter milk. You will get a number like this 6.857142857142857 (there are probably more decimals that come after it.) But, all the numbers after the 6 are useless because more recipes can't be made with those because you need at least 7/8 cups for one recipe. So, this will make 6 recipes. Hope this helps!
