If you factor the equation you can see what the solutions are. Two factor a quadratic of the form ax^2+bx+c, find two values which satisfy two conditions...

jk=ac=-15 and j+k=b=-2 so j and k must be -5 and 3 so the factors are:

(x-5)(x+3)

So the other solution is x=5

Answer:

3, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

6 < 3n < 15

Divide the three "sides" by 3.

2 < n < 5

A submersible traveling at a depth of 250 feet dives at an angle of 15 degrees with respect to a

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{652 ft}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The submersible is diving at a down angle of 15° along the hypotenuse AC of triangle ABC.

Its horizontal track along the surface AB is 1500 ft.

$\begin{array}{rcl}\tan A & = &\dfrac{BC}{AC}\\\\\tan 15^{\circ} & = & \dfrac{a}{1500}\\\\0.2679 & = & \dfrac{a}{1500}\\\\a & = & 1500 \times 0.2679\\& = & \textbf{402 ft}\\\end{array}$
