Answer:

Option C. (x+8)(x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

-x^2-15x-56

Find the roots of the quadratic equation

equate the equation to zero

-x^2-15x-56=0

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

ax^{2} +bx+c=0

is equal to

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

in this problem we have

-x^2-15x-56=0

so

a=-1\\b=-15\\c=-56

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-(-15)\pm\sqrt{-15^{2}-4(-1)(-56)}} {2(-1)}

x=\frac{15\pm\sqrt{1}} {-2}

x=\frac{15\pm1} {-2}

x=\frac{15+1} {-2}=-8

x=\frac{15-1} {-2}=-7

The roots are

x=-8 and x=-7

so

The quadratic equation in factored form is equal to

-x^2-15x-56=(x+8)(x+7)

sattari [20]

Answer:

186

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample mean, x, is the central value in the confidence interval, that is, the average between the upper and lower bounds of the interval.

In this case, the Lower bound is 184.00 and the upper bound is 188.00. Therefore, the sample mean is given by:

x = \frac{184+188}{2}\\x=186.00

The mean length, in seconds, of the sampled songs is 186.00.
