Answer:
If the discs were measured to the nearest milimetre, it might be possible, that they are actually 1.64cm wide instead of only 1.64cm as shown.
Therefore the box would fill up much quicker and there will not be enough space.
Step-by-step explanation:
1.6cm * 16 discs = 25.6cm (would fit)
1.64cm * 16 discs = 26.24cm (would not fit)
B does not represent a function
The larger one is (-11 + 41)/2 = 15.
The smaller one is (-11 -41)/2 = -26.
_____
For two numbers a and b with sum s and difference d, you can write the equations

Then adding the equations and dividing that sum by 2, you get

You can subtract the second eqution from the first and get a similar result for the smaller number

These are the formulas we used above.
√j+√j+14=3√j+10
2√j+14=3√j+10
minus 2√j both sides
14=√j+10
minus 10 both sides
4=√j
squaer both sides
16=j
answer is D, 16
