Step-by-step explanation: 
Answer: She can make two 3/4 yards long of oak molding. She will have half of the second one left over.
Step-by-step explanation:
3 + (2 + 8)^2 / 4 * (1/2)^4
3 + 10^2 / 4 * (1/2)^4
3 + 100/4 * (1/2)^4
3 + 25 * 1/16
3 + 25/16
48/16 + 25/16
73/16
4 9/16 <==
Quadratic formula is x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)
a= 1, b=-4, and c=3
Therefore, x=(-(-4)+-sqrt((-4)^2-4(1)(3))/(2(1))
Solve for both the plus and minus equations; the answers will be the roots to the quadratic equation.
