3. A mysterious metal medallion has a mass of 3,088 grams. Water is poured into a graduated glass container with a 10-by-10 cm square base with a water level of 53.0 cm. The medallion is dropped into the container and the water level rises to 54.6 cm. Find the volume and the density of the medallion.​

hi how are you doing today, if you need just ask me.

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
