3x^2 + 6x - 24
3(x^2 + 2x - 8)
3(x + 4)(x - 2) <==
Find the vertex.
x=b/-2a
12/-2(1)
x=-6
then plug into equation
-6^2+12(-6)+6
36-72+6=-30
(-6,-30)
Start by finding the area of one of the stools with this formula:
A=(3.14)(12)(12)
Then multiply that answer by five, since there are 5 stools.
Hope this helps :) good luck
