2 pieces at 2 3/4 feet is 2 x 2 foot 9 inches = 5 foot 6 inches
1 piece that is 3.5 feet is 3 feet 6 inches
2 pieces that are 1 5/8 feet are 2 x 1 foot 7 1/2 inches = 3 feet 3 inches
I think there should be more to the question. If you are looking for the best combination to buy it would be two 7 foot boards
Discriminant D is given by:
D=b²-4ac
Implication of discriminant is as follows:
D<0 two zeros that are complex conjugate
D=0 one real zero of multiplicity 2
D>0 two distinct real zers
D= (+ve perfet square) two distinct rational zeros
From:
12x^2+10x+5=0
plugging in the equation we get:
10²-4×12×5
=100-240
=-140
thus
D<0

<h2>T
he required "option c) 4.3" is correct.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total number of multiple choice questions = 17
To find, the mean for the number of correct answers = ?
Each question has four possible answers.
If guessing at random:
There is only one in four chances.
= 25 % chance of getting a particular question right.
This is the same probability for each of the 17 questions.
If there is a 25 % chance of getting any given question right.
There are 17 questions.
∴ The total number of questions you will expect to get right =
25 % × 17
= 
= 
= 4.25
≈ 4.3
∴ The mean for the number of correct answers = 4.3
Thus, the required "option c) 4.3" is correct.
