If a and b are the zeroes of the polynomial x2 + 5x + 8, then the value of a2 + b2 is(Pls help)

9

Step-by-step explanation:

If α and β are the zeros of ax² + bx + c = 0 , then

α + β = ( sum of zeros ) and

αβ = ( product of zeros )

Given

x² + 5x + 8 = 0

with a = 1, b = 5, c = 8 , with zeros a and b, then

a + b = = - 5

ab = = 8

Thus

(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² , that is

(- 5)² = a² + 2(8) + b²

25 = a² + 16 + b² ( subtract 16 from both sides )

9 = a² + b²

1260=3*6*7*10=3^2*2^2*7*5 perfect cude = 3^3*2^

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 18 units because there are 18 small cubes inside the rectangle

hope this and p.s i am also in k12
