Answer:

  (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
