6 0

To solve this polynomial equation, we first factor the left side.

To factor x² + 8x + 12 = 0, look for factors of 12 that add to 8.

These factors are 6 and 2 so we have (x + 6)(x + 2) = 0.

So either x + 6 = 0 or x + 2 = 0 and solving for

x in each equation, our answer is {-6, -2}.

The waiting time to ride a roller coaster is 20 minutes when 150 people are in line. How long is the waiting time when 240 peopl

laiz [17]

Answer: The waiting time will be 32 minutes when 240 people in line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the waiting time is directly proportional to the number of people in the queue.

Equation of direct proportion between variables x and y : $\dfrac{x_1}{y_1}=\dfrac{x_2}{y_2}$

Put $x_1=20,\ y_1=150,\ y_2=150$ to find $x_2$ .

$\dfrac{20}{150}=\dfrac{x_2}{240}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x_2=\dfrac{20}{150}\times240\\\\\Rightarrow\ x_2=32$

Hence, the waiting time will be 32 minutes when 240 people in line.
