Find where the graph of y=3x^2+7x-6 crosses the x axis

At the point where the line crosses the x axis, y=0

3x^2+7x-6=0

(3x-2)(x+3)=0

3x-2=0 or x+3=0

giving x=2/3 and x=-3

so the line crosses the x axis at (2/3,0) and (-3,0)

Time, T, is measured in tenths of a second with respect to distance x, is given by T(x)= 5(36+(x^2))^(1/2)+4(20-x). Find the value of x which minimises the time taken, hence calculate the minimum time.
