The function f(x) = −x^2 − 5x + 50 shows the relationship between the vertical distance of a diver from a pool's surface f(x), i

pychu [463]

Set the function to equal zero:

$-x^2 - 5x + 50 = 0$

To find the zeros, or solutions, to this problem, we will use the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Plug the values into the equation:

$a = -1, b = -5, c = 50$

$x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{-5^2-4(-1)(50)}}{2(-1)}$

$x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+200}}{-2}$

$x=\frac{5\pm15}{-2}$

Solve for both plus and minus:

$\frac{5 + 15}{-2} = \frac{20}{-2} = -10$

$\frac{5 - 15}{-2} = \frac{-10}{-2} = 5$

$x = -10, x = 5$

The question cannot use a negative value for x, as the diver cannot dive a negative distance from the board.

The answer is '<span>x = 5; the diver hits the water 5 feet away horizontally from the board', because x represents the horizontal distance away from the board.</span>

Answer:

22 /24 of donuts has sprinkles

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose: Isaiah brought two "DOZEN" donuts to a class party (?)

the donuts had sprinkles : 12 + (24 - 12 -2) = 22 24 -2 = 22
