Answer:
The answer is 4.71 so E.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 8 minutes, 16 minutes, 24 minutes, 32 minutes
Step-by-step explanation: 12x2=24. 8x2=16. 12x3=36. 8x3=24. 12x4=48. 8x4=32.
The general form of a polynomial is: x² + bx + c = 0. Substituting the roots,
3² + b(3) + c = 0
3b + c = -9 --> eqn 1
(5 + √5)² + (5 +√5)(b) + c = 0
(5+√5)b + c = -30-10√5 --> eqn 2
Solving both equations simultaneously by subtracting eqn 2 from eqn 1,
(-2 - √5)b = 21 + 10√5
b = -8 - √5
Using eqn 1,
3(-8 - √5) + c = -9
-24 - 3√5 + c = -9
c = -9 + 24 + 3√5
c = 15 + 3√5
Hence, the polynomial is: <em>f(x) = x² + (-8 - √5)x + (15 + 3√5)</em>.
You're meant to make one side of the equation equal 0.
For example, the first problem is

+ 9k = -7
You'd add 7 to both sides, leaving you with

+ 9k +7 =0
And I assume you know how to factor??
