Which statement is true about the prime polynomial 2x2 + 3x + 3? It cannot be modeled with a rectangle. It can be modeled with a square. It cannot be modeled with all positive tiles. It can only be modeled with an odd number of tiles.

darkknight:

Think about how it can be modeled @Greydolphin15

Greydolphin15:

that's my problem @darkknight

Greydolphin15:

idk i am taking a pre-test and idk about this question.

darkknight:

Pre-tests are meant to test your knowledge. We will try to assist you. But you have to think about how this can be factored. Can you try factoring it at least?

Greydolphin15:

yea

darkknight:

alright, try and see what u get

Greydolphin15:

it doesn't factor

ramen:

lets see which one makes the most sense

darkknight:

Wait I goofed

darkknight:

The zero's of the equation are imaginary. I saw the problem wrong. So your answer is prolly It cannot be modeled with all positive tiles.

Greydolphin15:

*trying to process everything*

darkknight:

Do you know how to use hte quadratic formula?

Greydolphin15:

not yet that's next semester stuff

Greydolphin15:

also why'd you delete the work???

ramen:

bc he did it wrong

darkknight:

That was wrong. I read the problem wrong

ramen:

but quadratic fomula is straight up and easy to use

darkknight:

wait, the answer might be It cannot be modeled with a rectangle.

darkknight:

Because it literally can't. The solutions to the polynomial are imaginary

darkknight:

Do you know what imaginary solutions are?

ramen:

i

Greydolphin15:

i got lost after you said it was wrong

Greydolphin15:

and tbh i already submitted it cuz I thought it was right

ramen:

i think the answer is odd bc it is imaginary.... but im not 100 sure

ramen:

hope u got it right
