If you stand on a ship in a calm sea, then your height x (in feet) above sea level is related to the farthest distance y (in mil

es) that you can see by the equation: y=sqrt (1.5x+(x/5280)^2) how high up do you have to be to be able to see 10mi?

We are given the relation between the height (in feet) and the distance (in miles) as follows:
y = sqrt(1.5x + (x/5280)^2).

We want to know the height (x) that makes the distance (y) = 10 miles

So, we will simply substitute in the above equation with y = 10 and calculate x as follows:
10 = sqrt(1.5x + (x/5280)^2)
we will square both sides to get rid of the root:
100 = 1.5x + (x/5280)^2
1.5x + (x/5280)^2 - 100 = 0 
(x-66.11475)(x+7986.1147) = zero
either x = 66.11475 feet (accepted solution)
or x = -7986.1147 feet (rejected solution as no height is in negative)

John wants to buy a new bike that cost 337 and he already has saved 103. Estimate to find about how much more John needs to save
Ede4ka [16]
We can round numbers to estimate.

337 is approximately 340.
103 is approximately 100.

340 - 100 = 240

John needs to save around $240 more in order to be able to afford the bike.

Hope this helps!

Kruka [31]

f(-2) = 2(-2)² - 8(-2) + 6 = 30

f(-1) = 2(-1)² - 8(-1) + 6 = 16

f(0) = 2(0)² - 8(0) + 6 = 6

f(1) = 2(1)² - 8(1) + 6 = 0

f(2) = 2(2)² - 8(2) + 6 = -2
