This can be solved by factoring.
First, set the expression equal to zero.

Then, find two the factors of

whose sum is

.

Split

into these two factors.

Next, factor by grouping.

By the Zero Product Property, set each factor equal to zero.


These are the solutions. The Complex Conjugate Root Theorem and the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra both state that, in essence, real and imaginary solutions come in pairs of two and every polynomial of degree

has exactly

complex roots, but real roots are also complex roots. That sounds confusing, but this just means that you're done.
Your answers are -2 and 1/3. There are two real roots.
Answer:
About 947 hours, walking at 5 km (3 miles)/hour.
Walking 8 hours /day [at that pace you would need to be an Olympic Athlete to keep up the pace] it will take about four months.
Walk slower, it will take longer.
Answer:
x> 5
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 8 > -3
Add 8 to each side
x - 8+8 > -3+8
x> 5
Answer:
Approx 61.554 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are dealing with the opposite and adjacent sides, we will use tangent as our ratio.
Since the angle of elevation is 72 degrees, the left side of our equation is
.
The right side of the equation is opposite over adjacent.

Set these equal to each other.

Simplify.


x is approximately 61.554.
11/22,000 = 3/x
11x=66,000
x=6,000 (3/11 of 22,000)
