Perry performs a study to determine the average number of flowers on gardenia bushes at a plant nursery. which will produce the most representative results?
a sample of the first 20 gardenia bushes near the entrance
a sample of every other gardenia bush in the shade
a sample of every other gardenia bush in full sun
a sample of 10 gardenia bushes in the shade and 10 in full sun

C. a sample of 10 gardenia bushes in the shade and 10 in full sun.

Step-by-step explanation:

let's call the solutions x₁ = (5 - 2√7)/3 and x₂ = (5 + 2√7)/3

then the equation is (x-x₁)(x-x₂) = 0

if you fill that in you get a lot of numbers which you can recognize as ax²+bx+c=0.

step-by-step explanation:

you can see that a=1 (there is just an x²)

b = (-5 -2√7 + 2√7 - 5)/3 = -10/3

c = -2√7)/3 ) * (-5+2√7)/3) = -1/3

so your answer is 3x^2 – 10x – 1 = 0
