So you always want to pull out the gcf first but since there isn't one, we can move on.
so we can make an acb chart which is multiplying the a value and the c value and find factors that of that product that will equal the b value.
a value is 2
c value is -15
b value is 7
-30 factors to equal 7 = 10, -3
10 - 3 = 7
so the factors 10 and -3 work. 
so now you make 2 separate parenthesis with one of the factors and one x. and it should be set equal to 0.
(x+10)(x-3) = 0
now solve for x in each separate parenthesis. 
x = -10 
x = 3
those r the roots
hope this helps

On Monday, you run treadmill for 1/2 hour at x miles per hour. On Tuesday, you walk the same distance on the treadmill, at 2 mph
nikitadnepr [17]
Answer: 3

Explanation:

It is useful to summarise the information in the form of a table with columns for distance, speed and time.

Remember if you know two of these, you can write an expression or answer for the third one.

s = d/t and t = d/s and d = s × t

We have that the speed on Monday was x miles per hour and the time, 1/2 an hour. We can find the distance as x × 1/2

Show this on the table and then complete it for Tuesday as well.

Distance Speed Time
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Monday 1/2 x x 1/2
Tuesday 1/2 x (x-2) 3/4

The speed on Tuesday can be given in two ways:

It is the same as on Monday (1/2 x) or as s × t

Form an equation: 3/4 (x-2) = 1/2 x

4 x 3/4 (x-2) = 4 x 1/2 x ← x 4

3 (x-2) = 2x

3x - 6 = 2x

x = 6 ← this was the speed on Monday.

The distance run on Monday was 1/2 x 6 = 3 miles

Jonathan and Timothy are playing on a seesaw during recess. The height, in feet, of Timothy after x seconds is represented by th
Furkat [3]

Answer:

D. [0,4]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are provided with the graph of height of seesaw with respect to time.

The new graph is transformed from the function y = cosx,

It is required to find the range of the transformed function.

Now, as we know the range (i.e. the values where y varies) of cosx is [-1,1] and the new function is a transformed version of cosine function.

So, the values of y are varying from minimum value 0 to maximum value 4 in the given graph.

Hence, the range of the transformed function is [0,4].
