8 I don’t know how to explain but the answer is
8
The answer is a, because the absolute value of x(the actual weight of the product) minus the target weight of 18.25 needs to be greater that the target weight difference of .36 so that it is outside the range. So basically, any number outside of the range will be correct.You can plug in number that you know are in/ out of the acceptable range of numbers for this problem in.
|18.62-18.25|>.36
.37>.36
18.62 is not in range.
Answer:Although the Quadratic Formula always works as a strategy to solve quadratic equations, for many problems it is not the most efficient method. Sometimes it is faster to factor or complete the square or even just "out-think" the problem. For each equation below, choose the method you think is most efficient to solve the equation and explain your reason. Note that you do not actually need to solve the equation. a. x2+7x−8=0x
2
+7x−8=0, b. (x+2)2=49(x+2)
2
=49, c. 5x2−x−7=05x
2
−x−7=0, d. x2+4x=−1x
2
+4x=−1.
