4b²+20b+25=0
Divide everything by 4
b²+5b+ 6.25=0
use the quadratic formula
x= (-b+ or - √b²-4ac) /2a
x= (-5 + or - √5²-4*1*6.25) /2(1)
x= -5/2 so
in this case, b= -5/2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let us consider the equation 
For a quadratic equation in a standard form,
, the axis of symmetry is the vertical line
.
Here in this case we have, 
Putting the values we get,

We can see that the axis of symmetry is x=3 and the graph is giving minimum at x=3.
Therefore, the required equation is
. Refer the image attached.
So convert to improper fracitons (improper=x/y where x>y and the current one is mixed where it is in t s/f form) so
40 and 4/5=(40 times 5)/5 and 4/5=200/5 and 4/5=204/5
50 and 7/8=(50 times 8)/8 and 7/8=400/8 and 7/8=407/8
area=legnth times width
legnth =407/8
width=204/5
multiply 407/8 and 204/5
407/8 times 204/5=(407 times 204)/(8 times 5)=83028/40=2075.7 square feet
the answer is 2075.7 ft^2 of seed
