We have that
<span>y = -x</span>²<span>+8x

we know that
when the ball hint the ground is the x-intercepts of the graph
the x-intercepts is for y=0
so
0=-x</span>²+8x--------> x²-8x=0----> x*(x-8)=0

the solution is
x=0
x=8

the x intercepts are the points (0,0) and (8,0)
the distance between the x intercepts points =[8-0]-----> 8 ft

the answer is
8 ft

see the attached figure

solve for x

5x-4x=10-5

x=5

Find the value of UV

UV=5x

substitute the value of x

UV=5(5)=25 units

Solve for x and explain

Since the two lines are parallel, the angle labeled 130 is congruent to the angle labeled x+ 136 so you can set them equal to each other

130 = x + 136
subtract 136 from both sides

x = -6
