A) The temperature was 68 degrees above 0 (in Fahrenheit) today. Write a signed number to represent this temperature.

"standard form:

3x2 + 14x − 10 = 0

solutions based on quadratic formula:

x1   = −14 − √ 142 − 4×3×(−10) /   2×3   = −14 − 2 × √ 79 /   6   ≈ −5.296

x2   = −14 + √ 142 − 4×3×(−10) /   2×3   = −14 + 2 × √ 79 /   6   ≈ 0.629

the square root of 16 is 4.

4*4 = 16
