No map given but it shouldn't matter.
E is the 5th letter, L the 12th.
Start at S(6,12). End at E(10,5)
The vector between them, E-S=(4,-7)
Each unit is 1/16 of a mile, though that probably doesn't matter that much.
Doug has to stay on the grid, so has to run |4|+|7|=11 units. At 30 mi/hr that takes (11/16)/30 = 0.022916 hours.
Bert can go diagonally, so flies √(4²+7²)=√65 ≈ 8.06 units. At 20 mi/hr that takes (8.06/16)/20 = 0.025194 hours.
Answer: Doug wins
Why? Because it's quicker to cover 4+7 at 30 mph than it is to cover √(4²+7²) at 20 mph. That is, Doug is 1.5 times faster and the 1.5 times the diagonal distance is more than the grid distance.
Your answer is
B, two complex roots and two real roots.
By factoring the original equation(which is a difference of two squares), you get:

Because first root is also a difference of two squares, it factors into x - 3 and x +3, your two real roots.
When you factor the second root, the roots are x - 3i and x + 3i.
To prove this, let's multiply them back together:
![[(x-3)(x+3)][(x-3i)(x+3i)]=0\\\\(x^{2}+3x-3x-9)(x^{2}+3xi-3xi-9i^{2})=0\\\\(x^{2}+0x-9)(x^{2}+0xi-9(-1))=0\\\\(x^{2}-9)(x^{2}+9)=0\\\\x^{4}+9x^{2}-9x^{2}-81=0\\\\x^{4}-81=0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%28x-3%29%28x%2B3%29%5D%5B%28x-3i%29%28x%2B3i%29%5D%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%28x%5E%7B2%7D%2B3x-3x-9%29%28x%5E%7B2%7D%2B3xi-3xi-9i%5E%7B2%7D%29%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%28x%5E%7B2%7D%2B0x-9%29%28x%5E%7B2%7D%2B0xi-9%28-1%29%29%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%28x%5E%7B2%7D-9%29%28x%5E%7B2%7D%2B9%29%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%5E%7B4%7D%2B9x%5E%7B2%7D-9x%5E%7B2%7D-81%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%5E%7B4%7D-81%3D0)
We reached the equation we started with, so that means that the roots are:
x + 3,
x - 3,
x + 3i, and
x - 3i,
two of which are real and two are complex.

Answer:
The sum is
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
The given expression are - 10t and t - 10t
We need to find the sum of the opposite of -10 t and t - 10t.
The opposite of -10 t is 10 t.

Remove the parenthesis.

Simplify the number

Use Additive inverse.

Hence, the sum is
.
