Answer:
Correct Answer is C(−5 ±square root 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2+20x+38=0
2(x^2+10x+19)=0
x^2+10x+19=0
This is a quadratic equation here we have used following formula to find the roots of this equation
x=-b−±square root (b^2-4*a*c))/2*a......(1)
Here,
a=1
b=10
c=19
put values of a, b and c in equation (1)
x=(-10 ±square root(10^2-4*1*19))/2*1
x=(-10 ±square root(100-76))/2
x=(-10 ±square root(24))/2
x=(-10 ±square root(2*2*6))/2
x=(-10 ±2square root(6))/2
x=2(-5 ±square root(6))/2
x=-5 ±square root(6)
Hope this answer will help you
Answer: Time taken by him in going = 8 hours
Time taken by him in returning = 9 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total distance from home to New York is x miles,

Also, he drove his car from his home to New York at the rate of 45 mph,
⇒ 
And, returned over the same road at the rate of 40 mph.
⇒ 
According to the question,
Time taken by him in returning - Time taken by him in going = 30 minutes = 1/2 hours, ( 1 hours = 60 minutes )
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Hence, the total distance from home to New York = x miles = 360 miles
⇒ 

⇒
