  (c)  {15 -√235, 15 +√235}

Step-by-step explanation:

For solutions p and q, the trinomial is ...

  (x -p)(x -q) = x² -(p+q)x +pq

That is, the constant term (-10) must be the product of the roots, and the x-coefficient (-30) must be the opposite of their sum.

The sums of roots in the answer choices are ...

  a) 30

  b) -30

  c) 30

  d) -30

We know the sum of roots is 30, so we can eliminate choices 'b' and 'd'.

The product of the roots must be -10, eliminating choice 'a'. Thus, the only viable choice is C.

The product of the roots of C is ...

  (15 -√235)(15 +√235) = 15² -235 = -10 . . . . as required

Step-by-step explanation:

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
