He planted D. 29,928 Bulbs
First Add up all the bulbs.
Then multiply the # of bulbs with the # of fields.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A fraction exponent converts into a radical. The denominator is the index of the radical (farthest left number) and the numerator is the exponent of the base inside (the farthest right number). The base of the fraction exponent is the base number in green. To write this expression, simply the exponents into one exponent and one base.
Now convert to the radical.
Explanation:
It helps to understand the process of multiplying the binomials. Consider the simple case ...
(x +a)(x +b)
The product is ...
(x +a)(x +b) = x² +(a+b)x + ab
If the <em>constant</em> term (ab) is <em>negative</em>, the signs of (a) and (b) are <em>different</em>.
If the constant term (ab) is <em>positive</em>, the signs of (a) and (b) will both match the sign of the coefficient of the linear term (a+b).
___
Of course, the sum (a+b) will have the sign of the (a) or (b) value with the largest magnitude, so when the signs of (a) and (b) are different, the factor with the largest magnitude will have the sign of (a+b), the x-coefficient.
<u>Example</u>:
x² -x -6
-6 tells you the factors will have different signs. -x tells you the one with the largest magnitude will be negative.
-6 = -6×1 = -3×2 = ... (other factor pairs have a negative factor with a smaller magnitude)
The sums of these factor pairs are -5 and -1. We want the factor pair that has a sum of -1, the coefficient of x in the trinomial.
x² -x -6 = (x -3)(x +2)
Solve for x, like I did, then plug it in the equation for UV.
So,
(2x12) - 22 = UV
24-22 = UV
UV = 2
