The correct option is \boxed{\bf option\ C } i.e., \boxed{\bf \left(-6,\dfrac{-5}{2}\right)}

Further explanation:  

The standard form of the quadratic equation is as follows:

\boxed{ax^{2}+bx+c=0}

In the above equation a,b\text{ and }c  are real numbers.

The solution of the quadratic equation can be evaluated by the quadratic rule with the use of discriminant formula and by middle term splitting formula.

The quadratic formula to obtain the roots of a quadratic equation ax^{2}+bx+c=0 is as follows:

\boxed{x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}}

In the above equation the term b^{2}-4ac is called the discriminant and the expression for the discriminant is as follows:

\boxed{D=b^{2}-4ac}

The discriminant is a parameter which is used to determine the nature of the roots.

Given:

The quadratic equation is given as follows:

\boxed{4x^{2}+34x+60=0}

Calculation:

The given equation is 4x^{2}+34x+60=0.

On comparing the given equation with standard quadratic equation, it is observed that the value of a,b\text{ and }c are as follows:

\boxed{\begin{aligned}a&=4\\b&=34\\c&=60\end{aligned}}  

We are solving this equation by the quadratic formula.

Step 1:

First find the discriminant of the equation to check the nature of the roots.

\begin{aligned}D&=(34)^{2}-(4\cdot 4\cdot 60)\\&=1156-960\\&=196\end{aligned}  

Here, the value of discriminant is positive. Therefore, the roots are real.

Step 2:

Now, use the quadratic formula to obtain the value of real roots.

\begin{aligned}x&=\dfrac{-34\pm \sqrt{196}}{2\cdot 4}\\x&=\dfrac{-34\pm 14}{8}\\x&=\dfrac{-34+14}{8}\ \ \text{or} \ \ x=\dfrac{-34-14}{8}\\x&=-\dfrac{5}{2}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{or}\ \ x=-6\end{aligned}  

From the above calculation it is concluded that the roots of the given quadratic equation are \frac{-5}{2} and -6.

Therefore, the correct option is \boxed{\bf\ option C} i.e., \boxed{\left(-6,\dfrac{-5}{2}\right)}

The quadratic equation:
4x^2 + 34x + 60 = 0
4x^2 + 24x + 10x + 60 = 0
4x(x + 6) + 10(x + 6)
(4x + 10) (x + 6)
x = - 6 , - 5/2
the answer is : c. -6, -5/2

hope this help

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

See answers to parts a and b below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Value: y=20+.20x

Best Rent y=30+.10x

B. 20+.20x=30+.10x make equations equal each other by subbing y values.

.10x=10 simplify equation

x=100

check answers by subbing 100 for x in each equation.

y=20+.20(100)

y=20+20

y=40

y=30+.10(100)

y=30+10

y=40

Both equations equal 40, so 100 is the correct number of miles for when Value equals Best Rent.

Please help I don’t understand it’s like angles and stuff picture above. 20 POINTS WILK MARK BRAINLEST FOR RIGHT ANSWERS ONLY
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Since 6x - 44 and 88 degrees are the same (exterior angles), we can start off with the first equation, 6x - 44 = 88

6x - 44 = 88

    +44    +44

6x      =   132

÷6         ÷6

x  = 22

same with the second problem (exterior angles are equal):

equation:

15x + 6 = 9x + 54

       -6              -6

15x    = 9x + 48

-9x      -9x

6x   =    48

÷6         ÷6

x   =   8

Hope this helped! :D
