For this case we have the following equation:
 f (x) = x ^ 2 + bx-49
 Deriving we have:
 f '(x) = 2x + b
 We match zero:
 0 = 2x + b
 We clear x:
 x = -b / 2
 The axis of symmetry is at x = 8, therefore:
 x = -b / 2 = 8
 Clearing b:
 b = -2 * (8)
 b = -16
 Answer:
 
the value of b is:
 
b = -16

Answer:

C) 33 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we need to find the value of the variable "x".

To do this, we must use the Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c²

Plug in your values and solve:

56² + b² = 65²

3,136 + b² = 65²

3,136 + b² = 4,225

Subtract 3,136 from both sides.

b² = 1,089

To cancel out the exponent, we would square root both sides.

√b² = √1,089

b = 33

This means that C) 33 meters will be your answer.
