4x² + 2x - 30 = 0
<span>
factor out the GCF:
</span>2(2x² + x - 15) = 0
<span>
factor the trinomial completely:
2x</span>² + x - 15 = 0
2x² + 6x - 5x - 15 = 0
2x(x + 3) - 5(x + 3) = 0
(2x - 5)(x + 3) = 0
<span>use the zero product property and set each factor equal to zero and solve:
2x - 5 = 0 or x + 3 = 0
2x = 5 x = -3
x = 2.5
</span><span>The roots of the function are x=-3, x=2.5</span>
Answer:
276 4/7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let r1 represent the radius of the inner circle. Then its circumference in feet is ...
C = 2πr
66 = 2π(r1)
If the radius of the outer circle is (r1 +44), then its circumference is ...
C = 2π(r1 +44) = 2π(r1) +2π(44)
C = 66 +88π
Then the difference in the circumferences is ...
(66 +88π) - (66) = 88π
Using the given value of π, the difference in circumferences is ...
(88 ft)(22/7) = 1936/7 ft = 276 4/7 ft
