25 feet = 25 x 12 = 300 inches

First light is at 16 inches.
300 - 16 = 284 inches

Find the rest of the bulbs:
284 ÷ 4 = 71

Total number of lights = 71 + 1 = 72

Answer  72 lights

Let f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 31. for what value of a is there exactly one real value of x such that f(x) = a?
allsm [11]
This value of "a" is exactly the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola
y = x%5E2+%2B+4x++-+31.

To find it, complete the square:

x%5E2+%2B+4x++-+31 = %28x%2B2%29%5E2+-+4+-+31 = %28x%2B2%29%5E2+-+35.

So, this value of "a" is a = -35.










Figure. Plot y = x%5E2+%2B+4x++-+31.

Is 7.8 cm, 1.1 cm, 9.1 cm a triangle
Anna35 [415]

Answer: The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. Since, 11 + 21 > 16, 11 + 16 > 21, and 16 + 21 > 11, you can form a triangle with side lengths 11 mm, 21 mm, and 16 mm.
