Recall the formula to find the solutions for an equation ax² + bx + c:
x₁₂ = (- b +/- √(b²-4ac) )/ 2a

Since at the denominator of our solution we have 3, which is an odd number, therefore it cannot be 2a, but only a, we should use the formula:

x₁₂ = (-β +/- √(β²-ac) )/ a

Where β = b/2

Hence, the only options that have an even number as b coefficient are C and D.

Now, we need to find what values give √(β² - ac) = 2√7 = √(4·7) = √28:

C) √(β² - ac) = √(25 - 3·6) = √7
D) √(β² - ac) = √(25 - 3·(-1)) = √28

Hence, the correct answer is D) 3x² - 10x - 1 = 0

A trip to another city is 180 miles. In miles per hour to the nearest tenth, how fast does one have to drive to average 60 mph o

Answer:

63.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If one didn't take a 10 minute break he could drive 60 mph totalling 180 minutes but since he did and 180 - 10 = 170. He/she has to drive 180 miles in 170 min. so we take so we divde 180/170 and multiply by 60. If you round it to the nearest tenth you get 63.5
