Hey there,

You can model the entrance to a mine shaft using the equation
y = − 2 (x + 4)(x − 4), where x and y are measured in feet. The x-axis represents
the ground. Find the width of the entrance at ground level.

Based by looking on this question above, your correct answer would be . . .

 $\boxed{y=8}$ and $\boxed{x=-1}$

Hope this helps.

y=-1/2 2 (x+4)(x+-4+

-1/2*2 = -1

y=-1(x+4)(x-4)

solving for x

x - -4 and x =4

-4 to 4 = 8 feet

width = 8 feet

$\frac{x^8y^{-26}}{x^{14}y^{-5}}[x^{-36}y^{-21}]$

We will apply these following power rule

$x^m*x^n = x^{m+n}$
$x^m/x^n=x^{m-n}$

$[ \frac{x^8}{x^{14}}][ \frac{y^{-26}}{y^{-5}}][x^{-39}y^{-21}]$
$[x^{8-14}][y^{-26-5}][x^{-39}y^{-21}]$
$x^{-6}y^{-21}[x^{-39}y^{-21}]$
$[x^{-6-39}][y^{-21-21}]$
$x^{-45}y^{-42}$
