2.if you lived near the north pole, how many hours of daylight and darkness would you experience?

5.5 months of daylight and 6 months of darkness

Explanation:

Daylight varies with time f the year and sun stilt around the arctic circle gets 24 hours of day and night each summer and winter months. The intensity of sunlight in the arctic is much less as in tropics. During the equinoxes, every location the earth has equal amounts of day and night patterns even the poles that lie on the end have viral or spring equinoxes. The North Pole when the sun dops at 12 degrees below. Thus the sun rises around the vernal equinox in March. Then the sun stays in about six months. Sun again around the autumnal equinox in Sept. Hence if you live in or near the north pole the daylight time is quite less.

2. x2 + 8x + 12 = 0 to prove: x = -6 or x = -2
