A civil engineer is mapping the overhead clearance of his family’s property on a coordinate grid. The ground is represented by t

he x-axis and the base of the house is at the origin. There are two trees on the property. One tree is 8 feet from the base of the house and is 16 feet tall. The other tree is 11 feet from the base of the house and is 9 feet tall. What is the distance from the base of the house to the closest treetop? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

The distance from the base of the tree to the tallest would be 14.21 cm

<h3>We have the following data points in this question</h3>

X1 = 8 feet

y1 = 16 feet

x2 = 11 feet

y2 = 9 feet

To proceed with the solution we have to

We have to solve for the shorter tree

\sqrt{(y2 -y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2} \\\\= \sqrt{9-0^2 + 11-0^2}

<em>= </em>9² + 11²

= √81 +121

= 14.21

<h3>For the taller tree we would have</h3>

√8² + 16²

= √64 +256

= 17.89

Answer:

- Translation

Step-by-step explanation:

Morgan is walking her dog on an 8-meter-long leash. She is currently 500 meters from her house, so the maximum and minimum dista
lara31 [8.8K]
<u>The minimum distance is 492 meters from the house (500 - 8 = 492), and the maximum distance is 508 meters from the house (500 + 8 = 508). The dog may be slightly closer to the house, depending on how long the dog is, or if Morgan is using a leash extender.</u>

The quadratic function: <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D-x%5E2-8x%2B1" id="TexFormula1" title="y=-x^2-8x+1" alt="y=-x^2-8x

Answer:

  2)  (-∞, 17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The leading coefficient of the function is negative, so the parabola opens downward. The vertex will be a maximum, the upper end of the range. The lower end of the range will be -∞.

The vertex of the function lies on the axis of symmetry. The maximum can be found by evaluating the function at x=-4.

  y = -(-4)² -8(-4) +1 = -16 +32 +1 = 17

The range of the function is (-∞, 17].
