It takes an ant farm 3 days to consume 1/2 of an apple at that rate on how many days will the ant farm consume 3 apples.

18 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it takes 3 days to eat a whole apple you multiply the 3 days and 1/2 by 2, you then get 6 days to eat 1 whole apple then multiply both by 3 to get 18.

solution:

the given function is ,

      =

the three roots of this quadratic function is , 0 ,8 and 10.all the roots are real and rational.

if a quadratic equation is of the form ,

sum of the roots = a + b +c= 0+8+10=18=  

product of roots taken two at a time = a b + b c+ c a = 0+80+0=80 =  

product of roots = a b c = 0=  

there are 11 doors in a hall starting from 0 to 11.the entry in the hall is permitted through gate number 0 and exit is allowed through only gate number 8 and 10.so, three roots(0,8,10) of quadratic function is given by entry and exit route of this hall.

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:
