26. 2x^2 +4x -10 = 0 (-4 + - (root(4^2 - 4*2*-10)))/2*2 =
(-4 + - (root(96)))/4
(-4 + (root(96)))/4 ≈ 1.45
(-4 - (root(96)))/4 ≈ -3.45
27. f(x) = 0 when any of the components that multiply together equal 0 for this function therefore x -2 = 0 x +3 = 0 x -5 = 0 so f(x) = 0 when x = 2, -3 or 5
28. It looks like it shows you how to do it
X=area of Sahara.
y=area of the Gobi Desert.
We suggest this system equations:
x+y=4000000
x=7y
solve by susbstitution method.
(7y)+y=4,000,000
8y=4,000,000
y=4,000,000 / 8=500,000
x=7y
x=7(500,000)=3,500,000
The area of Sahara=3,500,00 miles².
The area of the Gobi Desert=500,000 miles²
To check:
Te sum of their areas is : 3,500,000 miles²+500,000 miles²=4,000,000 miles²
Te area of sahara (3,500,000 miles²) is 7 times the area of the Gobi Desert (7*500,000 miles²=3,500,000 miles²).
The number of tops on the 6th day based on the exponential model is 64, and the number of tops on the 6th day based on the linear model is 17.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
It is defined as the function that rapidly increases and the value of the exponential function is always a positive. It denotes with exponent 
where a is a constant and a>1
First day class collected = 2 tops
Third day class collected = 8 tops
The exponential function can be modelled:
D(1) = 2 (first day)
D(3) = 8 (third day)
D(6) = 64 (sixth day)
The linear function can be modeled:
D(N) = 3N -1
D(1) = 2 (first day)
D(3) = 8 (third day)
D(6) = 17 (sixth day)
Thus, the number of tops on 6th day based on exponential model is 64, and the number of tops on the 6th day based on the linear model is 17.

I don't really know what you're trying to ask because
x = -2 and x=6 are your roots.
But if you want to convert them back to their equation form,
get the other side of the equation to be 0.
x = 6
x - 6 = 0
x = -2
x + 2 = 0
so your original equation had something like (x+2)(x-6)
