Step-by-step explanation:
Note that (x² + 5)(x² - 5) are the factors of a difference of squares
a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)
with a = x² and b = 5, hence
(x² + 5)(x² - 5) = (x²)² - 5² = - 25, thus
3( - 25) = 3
- 75
The distance the player is from the right post is = 5.1 meters
<h3>Calculation of distance using Pythagorean theorem</h3>The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
Formula for the Pythagorean theorem =
a²= b²+c²
From the diagram given,
The hypotenuse (a) = x²
b= 1.82²
c = 4.8²
x² = 1.82² + 4.8²
x²= 3.3124 + 23.04
x²= 26.3524
a= √26.3524
a= 5.1 meters.
