An auto race consists of 15 laps. Jon Kimm completes the first 3 laps at an average speed of 195 mph, and the remaining laps at an average speed of 205 miles per hour. Let d represent the length of one lap. Choose the time in terms of d that it takes the driver to complete the race.

equation is inconclusive

Step-by-step explanation:

you average the two speeds getting 200 mph. then you need to know the time is took to fully complete the race to get the unit rate which you would multiply to find yiur time.

what statement? is there an image?

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
