Answer:
x = -0.62 and x = 4.29
These values are approximations !
Step-by-step explanation:
You can not use Factoring to solve this equation. Perhaps you did not use the exact notation as in the original question?
Anyway, to solve it, you can still use the ABC formula.
3x²-11x-6=0
a = 3
b =-11
c = -6
x = [11 + √{121 -4(3 *-6)} ]/ 2*3
x = [11 + √{121 -4(-24)} ]/ 6
x = [11 + √{121 + 96} ]/ 6
x = [11 + √{217} ]/ 6
x = 4.29 This is an approximation !
x = [11 - √{121 -4(3 *-6)} ]/ 2*3
x = [11 - √{121 -4(-24)} ]/ 6
x = [11 - √{121 + 96} ]/ 6
x = [11 - √{217} ]/ 6
x = -0.62 This is an approximation !
extra: see the graph.
75 mi. East, 70 mi. South, 110 mi.West.
Overall, she drove 110-75= 35 mi. West since east & west are opposite directions.
And 70 mi. South.
In a Pythagorean theorem problem, legs are 35 & 70. And hypotenuse is her diagonal distance from where she started
35^2 + 70^2 = c^2
1225 + 4900 = c^2
6125 = c^2
78.3=c
It is convenient to let a spreadsheet or graphing calculator do the math for this. Functions can be defined for cost and profit, and evaluated at each of the volumes of interest.
a1) For 200 cars, the Outside location yields the greatest profit
a2) For 300 cars, the City location yields the greatest profit
b) The sites yield the same profit for a volume of 278 cars.

-0.8m + 3 - 12.5m + 95.36m
-13.3m + 3 + 95.36m
82.06m + 3
82.06m + 3 is your simplified expression.
