Step-by-step explanation:
C. I think the answer is C
5x = x^2 + 4
x^2 - 5x + 4 = 0
(x - 4)(x - 1) = 0
x = 4, 1
(x + 6)^2 = 100
x + 6 = +/1 sqrt100
x + 6 = +/- 10
x = 4, -16
We use the distance formula for this problem.
d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
The distance between point (-2,-2) and point (-2,4).
d = √[(⁻2 - ⁻2)² + (4 - ⁻2)²] = 6 units
Then, compute for 20% of 6 units:
Distance traveled = 6(0.2) = 1.2 units
Use 1.2 units as distance and the starting point (-2,-2). The x-coordinate should still be at -2 because the distance is a straight line as shown in the picture.
1.2 = √[(-2 - ⁻2)² + (y - ⁻2)²]
Solving for y,
y = -0.8
The point is found at (-2,-0.8). This is located at quadrant 3. As to the distance traveled, that would be: 1.2*6 = 6 miles. Thus, the answer is C.
If you’re trying to find x, x = 3.
