Answer:
x is 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation: x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0
Here, a = 1, b = 3 and c = -4.
The formula for the discriminant is b^2 - 4(a)(c).
Substituting the given values of a, b and c, we get:
(3)^2 - 4(1)(-4)
Evaluating this, we get 9 + 16 = 25.
The discriminant is 25.
-3 plus or minus √25
Taking this further, x = ------------------------------------
2
-3 plus or minus 5
or: x = -------------------------------- => {-4, 1} (solutions)

28/4 = 7,
36/4 = 9,
Place the 7 over the 9 and you get 7/9!
See attachment for one such shell. The volume is given by the sum of infinitely many thin shells like this, each with radius
and height determined by the vertical distance between the upper blue curve and the lower orange curve for any given
, i.e.
.
The volume is then
The y intercept is 0, and the slope is 5x.
Equation: y = 5x +0.
